Jegyzetek

You can enhance this cocktail a little further with brûléed lime or lemon wheel garnishes. Sprinkle a little sugar on your citrus of choice and brûlée with a kitchen torch. This will add a smokey aroma to the cocktail.

Chill your glasses ahead of time in the freezer to keep your drinks cooler for longer. This is one of my favorite tricks in the summer.

Use “dirty” ice from the shaker, fresh ice cubes, or pour over a large ice cube for the ultimate presentation/experience.

This cocktail tastes great with a tiny pinch of salt or 80-20 saline solution.
