Notes
Shaken or stirred? For this cocktail I love the chill of shaken but the look of stirred.
So I put my glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes before making the cocktail and then I stir the ingredients with some medium size ice chips.
If you prefer a more icy composition, then shake away but the clarity of the cocktail can be affected.
