Notes
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh lime juice is crucial for the freshest citrus flavor. Avoid bottled lime juice as the taste is less vibrant and can taste bitter.
- Measure properly. Use a jigger or measuring spoons to measure each ingredient precisely. This is key to achieving the best cocktail, as it relies on equal parts of all ingredients.
- Chill your glassware. Before serving, place your martini glass in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. This keeps the drink cold and refreshing.
- Shake well. Vigorously shake the ingredients with the ice in the cocktail shaker for 10-20 seconds to thoroughly blend the flavors and create the proper dilution. The outside of your cocktail shaker should be covered with condensation or slightly frosty.
- Garnish for presentation. Add a fresh lime twist or Luxardo cherry for the perfect finishing touch, adding color and a hint of extra flavor.
