Recipes Tips
If you want to make this cocktail ahead of time, you can mix the ingredients together and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Just be sure to give the mixture a good shake before pouring it into a glass.
If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, you can use a mason jar with a lid instead. Just fill the jar with ice and the ingredients, seal the lid tightly, and shake well.
To make your cocktail extra special, add a sugared rim to your martini glass. Dip the rim of the glass in water or lime juice, then dip it in sugar to create a sparkling, sweet rim.
