- Shake Mixture: Shake the ingredients vigorously for about 10 seconds until well blended to chill and combine the flavors.
- Prepare Glass: If desired, moisten the rim of a margarita or martini glass with lime juice or water, then dip it into a small plate of kosher salt to coat the rim.

- Adjust the amount of water or ice depending on your preference for cocktail strength and dilution.
- This recipe serves one but can be easily scaled up for multiple servings.
