  3. 3

    Shake the Mixture

    Fill the cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain the Cocktail

    Remove the ice water from your cocktail glass and strain the shaken mixture into the chilled glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a cocktail cherry placed on a skewer or dropped into the drink, then serve immediately.
