Notes
- Use plenty of ice when making this cocktail. It serves to dilute the drink, chill it and also helps to build up that beautiful creamy top.
- Chill the serving glass for 15 minutes to ensure this drink is served ice-cold.
- Use a cocktail jigger, kitchen measuring spoons or digital kitchen scales to measure the ingredients - don't guess the volume of liquid as those listed in the recipe card are the perfect balance of flavours.
