Mexican Elbows

Mexican Elbows – Professional Citrus Squeezers for Bars and Catering Environments

When it comes to preparing fresh, zesty drinks or adding a splash of citrus to your culinary creations, having the right tools makes all the difference. At Express Cleaning Supplies, our range of Mexican Elbows provides bar staff, mixologists, and catering professionals with the perfect handheld citrus press for lemons and limes. Designed for ease of use and long-term durability, these manual juicers are a staple piece of equipment for bars, restaurants, cafes, and event venues across the UK.

What Is a Mexican Elbow?

A Mexican Elbow is a compact handheld juicer that quickly extracts juice from lemons, limes, and other small citrus fruits. It features two sturdy arms and a bowl-shaped press that efficiently squeezes juice without letting seeds or pulp enter your drinks. The simple design allows bartenders to work quickly behind a busy counter while maintaining precise control over how much juice goes into each cocktail or mocktail. For chefs, a Mexican Elbow makes food preparation faster and cleaner when fresh citrus juice is needed to marinate, dress, or finish dishes.

Quality Barware You Can Rely On

The Mexican Elbows offered at Express Cleaning Supplies are sourced from professional barware suppliers who understand the demands of a fast-paced catering environment. These juicers are made from strong materials such as coated aluminium or stainless steel to ensure they resist corrosion and maintain their finish over time. The ergonomic design means less strain on your hands during repeated use, which is especially important for busy service hours.

Unlike cheap alternatives that may bend or chip after a few uses, the Mexican Elbows in our range are built to last. They are lightweight enough for quick handling yet robust enough to deliver maximum juice with minimal effort. This durability and reliability make them a favourite choice for bars, hotels, and restaurants.

Benefits of Using a Mexican Elbow in Your Bar or Kitchen

A Mexican Elbow might appear simple, but it offers a range of practical benefits that contribute to efficiency, hygiene, and flavour consistency:

• Freshness and Flavour Control – Hand juicing with a Mexican Elbow ensures every drink is made with freshly squeezed citrus, enhancing both scent and taste. Whether you are preparing margaritas, gin and tonics, or salad dressings, freshly squeezed juice is a clear sign of quality.
• Precision and Portion Control – The design enables accurate measurement of citrus juice so you can maintain consistency across cocktails, recipes, and beverages.
• Clean and Efficient – The closed press design keeps pips out of drinks and eliminates the mess associated with traditional juicers. Easy to rinse and clean after each use, Mexican Elbows help maintain hygiene behind the bar.
• Compact and Easy to Store – With limited counter space in many kitchens and bars, their compact shape allows you to store several Mexican Elbows neatly in drawers, utensil holders, or on bar shelves.
• Highly Durable – The corrosion-resistant finish ensures reliable use even in environments that work with citrus daily.

Choosing the Right Mexican Elbow

Different sizes and finishes are available depending on your needs. A lime-sized Mexican Elbow is ideal for smaller citrus fruits, producing just the right amount of tart juice for cocktails. If you frequently prepare drinks or dishes using lemons, a larger size will provide optimal extraction. For establishments that prioritise sustainability and presentation, stainless steel presses are popular due to their long lifespan and polished appearance. Coloured aluminium presses provide a lightweight alternative that remains strong and resistant to wear.

What to Consider When Selecting Your Mexican Elbow

• Size compatibility with the fruits you use most often
• Handle comfort, grip texture, and resistance
• Material type and ease of cleaning
• Colour-coding options for organising different juicers

Our curated range helps you find the perfect match for your bar’s requirements, ensuring your staff can work efficiently while maintaining a professional standard.

Applications of a Mexican Elbow

In addition to cocktail preparation, Mexican Elbows are widely used in hospitality and catering environments. They can be used to:

• Add natural lemon or lime juice to soft drinks, teas, or smoothies
• Enhance sauces, marinades, and salad dressings in kitchens
• Finish fish, poultry, or vegetable dishes with freshly squeezed citrus
• Prepare fresh citrus juice garnishes for desserts and pastries
• Reduce waste by fully utilising every piece of fruit

This versatility makes the Mexican Elbow an indispensable part of any bar toolkit or catering utensil collection.

Caring for Your Mexican Elbow

To maintain the performance and cleanliness of your juicer, rinse it immediately after use with warm water. Avoid leaving juice residue to dry, as this can affect the finish over time. For deep cleaning, wash with mild detergent and dry thoroughly. Stainless steel models can be polished to keep their shine, while coated aluminium versions should be handled with care to avoid scratching the surface. With proper care, a quality Mexican Elbow will remain an essential part of your barware collection for years.
