Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Stir, not shake, since stirring retains clarity and helps to preserve the texture of the gin, and shake only when cloudiness or aeration is wanted, which is unorthodox.
Serving Tip 1
Freeze the glass for a minimum of 10 minutes prior to serving to sustain temperature without having to depend on dilution.
