The 350ml yellow squeeze bottle in two lines
This is the 350ml yellow squeeze bottle: the large size of the range in the citrus colour, with the narrow tip that gives around an eighth of an ounce a squeeze.
Who it is for
For anyone using a lot of lemon juice or citrus syrup who does not want to top up during service. The colour tells it apart from the others in the line without reading anything.
Choosing the size is a decision about when you top up
A 350 millilitre bottle on a high turnover product covers the whole night, so the decanting happens in prep, when things are calm. With a 200 on the same product you have to top up mid service, and that is the worst moment: hands full, surface dirty, syrup going past the funnel. The 350ml yellow squeeze bottle exists to take that moment out of the night.

The other side wants looking at too
A large size on a slow product keeps the contents open too long, and sugar syrups in those conditions turn. The working rule is simple: the large one goes on the product that finishes in a night or two, the small one on everything else. Getting it wrong in that direction does not show at once, it shows three weeks later in a drink that tastes fermented.
What goes inside
Fresh lemon juice, citrus syrup, sometimes sugar syrup if the venue has given the sweet side another colour. Fresh lemon juice is the case where the large size and the high turnover really do agree: squeeze it in prep, decant the lot and finish it the same night, which is also how the juice gives its best.
The count, and what it is worth across a night
Two squeezes a quarter of an ounce, four half. On a drink with half an ounce of lemon, four squeezes are a one second movement against the six or seven it takes to reach for the jigger, pour, check and put it back. Over two hundred drinks that difference shows in the queue at the bar, and it is why in a venue with turnover the corrections all live in squeeze bottles.
Where it sits in the line
Next to the working hand, together with the other corrections, and always in the same position. A dispenser moved twenty centimetres costs a glance on every drink, and it is the same principle that stops anyone reordering the bottles in a speed rail on their own initiative. The line is decided once and then left alone.
Care
Full wash at every change of product, and on a fixed schedule with fresh juice, which means daily. The tip wants rinsing at the end of the shift: dried syrup narrows it and the dose drops without anyone noticing.
The prep decant
Done with the venue closed, bottle washed and dry, funnel clean. Do not top up over an old base, because what is underneath is older than what you are adding and with constant topping up a bottle is never really fresh. Empty, wash, fill: three minutes that take a problem out of the whole night.
How many you need in the line
One per high turnover product, plus a clean spare. Keeping a second 350ml yellow squeeze bottle already filled under the counter means changing over in two seconds when the first runs out, instead of decanting with your hands full and three orders waiting.
