Notes
- To sweeten your drink, you can add 1/2-1 ounce of agave syrup or simple syrup to your liking.
- Don't have a cocktail shaker? You can stir all of the ingredients in a separate glass, shake them in a mason jar, or simply pour all of the ingredients into the prepared iced glass. Shh! I won't tell.
