Equipment
- A shaker is a must for mixing ingredients well.
- You'll also need a jigger for measuring
- I like to have a strainer handy to catch ice while pouring.
- Finally, use a martini glass for serving. These are the foundation of a good cocktail setup.
- And don't forget a muddler for mixing any fresh herbs or fruits.

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! 🎄
