Notes

A few notes can make your cocktail extra special. Chill your martini glass in the freezer before using. This keeps the drink cold longer. Try experimenting with different orange liqueurs for a unique twist. Adjust the lime juice to taste if you like it more or less tart. Feel free to add crushed ice for a frosty sensation. Always enjoy responsibly! 🎄
