Good to know

Chef's tip

Use solid, dry ice cubes: they melt more slowly and keep the cocktail from diluting too quickly. Shake until a fine layer of condensation appears on the shaker ❄️.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Freezing a cocktail alters its texture and flavor; alcohol does not freeze evenly.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Prepare just before serving for the best flavor and to prevent the ice from diluting it too quickly.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Cocktails are made to order to ensure freshness and balanced flavors.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable, cold drink.

Variations

Serve in a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with a citrus slice.
Use lemon or lime.

Mistakes to avoid

Shaking too little: shake for 15 to 20 seconds, until the shaker is very cold.
Forgetting to strain: strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Overdoing the citrus juice: 1 cl is enough.
