Prepare glass
If you used ice water to chill, empty and dry the glass. Optionally, wet the rim lightly with a little orgeat or simple syrup and dip into the chopped pistachios to rim part of the glass.

Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled martini or coupe glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any pistachio bits.
Garnish
