I often zest up my food with lemon juice and I usually have squeezed juice in the fridge in a jar because I like it pre squeezed, with pulp and seeds removed. However, a jar is not an ideal container for distributing lemon juice over food because it's hard to get an even coverage, rather a few spots of intense concentration.
Are there better containers or perhaps even some form of sprayer for spraying lemon juice over food evenly? I was hesitant to use a regular water spray bottle because I thought the juice, despite being strained for pulp, still might have small pieces that could clog the tube.

I personally use squeeze bottles to store my citrus juices, including pre-strained lemon juice. They're nearly identical to these versions from Amazon (though more colorful) which I like because they have a built-in cap to keep the container sealed. There are a number of other styles sold, but know that most don't include caps. The small tips make them easy to dispense precisely; give them a quick squeeze over your food (or even wave them around and let the drops fall where they may) and you'd get controlled, relatively even distribution.
I wouldn't recommend them for long-term storage, as plastic can mess with flavors over an extended time, but lemon juice gets acrid after a week or so anyway. You could try out a spray bottle, but these have minimal moving parts and they're dishwasher-safe.
