A LITTLE CEREMONY
The method.
Prepare your glass
Set out a clean highball glass for each serving. Add 120 g of fresh cubed ice to each glass just before pouring.
Measure into your shaker
Measure one serving of the tequila, lime juice, and crème de cassis into a shaker. Keep the ginger beer and lime garnish aside.
Shake until properly cold
Use one serving of the measured ingredients per batch. Add 180 g cubed ice and seal the shaker. Shake firmly until the outside feels very cold. Repeat with fresh mixing ice for each serving.
Strain and finish
Use a cocktail strainer to pour into the prepared highball glass. Add the measured 90 ml ginger beer after straining and lift once gently with a bar spoon. Never shake ginger beer. Place the measured lime wedge against the ice and serve while the ginger beer is lively.
