Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12-15 seconds, until the shaker exterior becomes noticeably cold and the ingredients are well integrated and slightly diluted.

Strain
Dump the ice water from the chilled glass (if used). Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne and/ or fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any pulp.
Garnish & Serve

Express citrus oils
Take the lemon twist and gently hold it over the surface of the cocktail, skin side down, then give it a quick squeeze to express the oils across the drink. If using a small amount of orange zest, lightly rub it on the rim first and drop it into the drink.

Rest the lemon twist on the rim or float it on the surface. Serve immediately while cold.
