Method
Cocktail
Chill glass
Place a rocks glass or coupe in the freezer for 5 minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz McQueen hibiscus gin, 0.5 oz triple sec, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 3 dashes Boston bitters.
Add ice and shake
Add 6 cubes of ice to the shaker. Cap and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is cold to the touch and well chilled.
Prepare serving glass
Discard the ice or water from the chilled serving glass and add 4–5 fresh ice cubes if serving on the rocks (or leave empty if serving up).
Strain
Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any pulp.
