    Gather Ingredients

    Collect all the ingredients listed above and ensure you have a shaker and a strainer ready.

    Shake

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  3. 5

    Strain

    Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass using a fine mesh strainer to remove any ice shards.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Add Garnish

    Garnish the cocktail with a twist of lemon peel and a fresh apple slice on the rim of the glass.
