How to make it
Prepare Glass
- Chill your coupe glass by filling it with ice water while you assemble the drink.
Shake the Cocktail
- Pour the gin, freshly squeezed lime juice, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker or a tightly sealing jam jar.
- Add a generous handful of ice cubes.
- Seal the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 10 to 12 seconds until thoroughly chilled and frosted on the outside.
Strain and Serve
- Discard the chilling ice from your coupe glass.
- Fine strain the mixture directly into the chilled glass, garnish, and serve immediately.
Garnish
A thin wheel of fresh lime placed gently on the rim or floated on the surface.
Make it alcohol-free
Replace the 60ml London Dry Gin with an equal measure of non-alcoholic distilled spirit (such as Seedlip Grove 42 or Tanqueray 0.0).
