9. Old Friend

Ingredients

Method

Begin by adding all of your ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, ensuring every component is well incorporated
Proceed to shake the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 seconds, or until you notice the exterior of the shaker has developed a frosted appearance, signaling it's nicely chilled
Once shaken to perfection, employ a fine strainer to pour the cocktail, capturing any unwanted ice chips or herb remnants, into a glass that's been pre-chilled to preserve the coolness of your drink
This process ensures your cocktail is smooth and refreshingly cold, ready for you to enjoy
