Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Squeeze fresh lime juice just before mixing; bottled juice dulls the citrus brightness.
Chill all ingredients and glassware beforehand for a properly cold drink without over-dilution.
Use a jigger to measure exactly 1 oz of each spirit—precision matters with only three ingredients.
Shake vigorously with ice for 10–15 seconds to chill and slightly dilute for smoothness.

Substitutions

Apricot brandy → Apricot liqueur (lighter, sweeter profile)
Triple Sec → Cointreau or Grand Marnier (higher quality, more complex orange notes)
Fresh lime juice → Lemon juice (more tart, shifts balance toward brightness)
