Mixing

  1. 3

    Add Flavor Enhancements

    Add the activated charcoal and bitters to the shaker with the base ingredients. Shake again for an additional 10 seconds to ensure the charcoal is evenly distributed.

    Garnish the cocktail with a lime wheel on the rim of the glass and a sprig of mint placed gently on top for an aromatic finish.
