# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The refreshing mint and citrus combination wakes up your palate without overwhelming the whiskey character
  • It comes together in five minutes flat but looks like something a mixologist spent years perfecting
02 -
  • Over-shaking will water down the drink, so stick to fifteen seconds max
  • The color should be a natural emerald green, not neon bright
03 -
  • Use large ice cubes in the shaker to minimize over-dilution
  • If the drink seems too sweet, add just three drops more lemon juice
