Build and shake
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 3/4 full). Add 2 oz gin, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.75 oz simple syrup. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker is very cold and a slight frost forms.

Strain
Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the contents of the shaker into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to catch any pulp or ice shards.
