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 the glass
Pour one serving of the measured still ingredients into each glass over the fresh ice.
Finish gently
Add any measured sparkling ingredients last. Lift once gently with a bar spoon to combine; do not shake carbonated liquids.
The finishing touch
Set the measured lime wedge against the ice and serve while the soda is sparkling.
