A LITTLE CEREMONY
The method.
Prepare your glass
Fill a clean martini glass for each serving with ice and water to chill it while you mix. Empty it 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 martini glass. Add the measured garnish and serve immediately.
