Add ice and shake
Add a generous scoop of ice to the shaker (enough to fill roughly 2/3 of the shaker). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds, until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.

Prepare serving glass
Fill the chilled rocks glass with fresh crushed or cubed ice (about 1 cup).

Garnish and finish
Express the oils of a lime wheel or twist over the drink by gently pinching it over the surface, then drop the wheel or twist into the glass as a garnish. Serve immediately.
