Notes
Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Avoid using bottled lemon juice.
Shake the cocktail vigorously to ensure that the ingredients are well-mixed and the cocktail is cold.
Use good quality gin for the best taste. The gin should be a London Dry style gin with high alcohol content.
Use Cointreau instead of triple sec or any other orange liqueur for a better flavor.
Chill the cocktail glass before serving to keep the cocktail cold for longer.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice and Cointreau to your personal taste preferences. You can also add a splash of simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter cocktail.
