Tips
Use two heaping tablespoons white sugar. The most common mistake is people don’t use enough white sugar because they think it’s too much. The drink will be tart.
Don’t worry most of the sugar stays in the shaker. Let the drink rest after shaking. That little bit of water from the ice melting helps with balance.
