Method
Preparation
Chill glass
Place a rocks glass (or coupe if you prefer) in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
Measure
Measure 2 oz Tanqueray No. Ten, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.
Add ice
Add about 1 cup of ice to the shaker, enough to nearly fill it and chill the contents quickly.
Dry shake (optional for texture)
If you want a slightly silkier mouthfeel, briefly 'dry shake' (shake without ice) for 5–7 seconds, then add ice. This step is optional but helps integrate the citrus and syrup.
Mixing
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes cold and slightly frosted. Proper shaking chills, dilutes, and aerates the cocktail for balance.
Discard the ice or water used to chill the serving glass. Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer (or Hawthorne strainer) into the chilled rocks glass over fresh serving ice (a single large cube or several medium cubes).
Garnish & serve
Optional: run a grapefruit peel around the rim as well for an extra bright floral note, or float a thin lemon wheel on top. Serve immediately.
