Instructions

  • Strain into a glass filled with ice or chilled coupe glass.
  • Add soda water or tonic for a bubbly finish.
  • Garnish with a lemon wheel or a sprig of fresh herbs for extra aroma.

Notes

  • Serve immediately.

  • Use chilled ingredients and serve with large ice cubes, which melt more slowly and keep the drink diluted just right.
