Tips & Suggestions

Serving Tip 1

For an elevated, sweeter sip, moisten half the rim of the chilled cocktail glass with a fresh lime wedge. Gently roll it into fine granulated sugar for a sparkling presentation.

Serving Tip 2

For an exquisite and themed touch, gently wrap a lemon twist around the stem of a cocktail cherry before dropping it in, resulting in a refined, fragrant and visually appealing garnish.
