Prepare the Glass
Chill a coupe or champagne flute by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water for a few minutes.

Shake Well
Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients thoroughly.

Strain into Glass
Remove the chilled glass from the freezer or discard the ice water. Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass, discarding the ice.
