Supremely crowd-pleasing measures... For my taste, I reduced the Cointreau from 30 to 25 ml and it reached a better balance. I also used ice (4-6, inch-sq cubes) straight from the freezer, as I like my cocktails a bit more punchy and strident. Still yielded more dilution than anticipated, but I may have finally found my bliss with this, one of my faves.

3 week extension to lockdown in the U.K. so decided to celebrate with one of these! Never had one before but really enjoyed. Half rimmed the sugar rim and it 100% makes the drink. Make one.
