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
Add the measured liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Keep any garnish and sparkling ingredients 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. Top with the measured soda water and lift once gently. Add the measured garnish and serve immediately.
