Notes
Measurements – If you prefer to use a measuring spoon, ¾ ounce is 1 ½ tablespoons. You can use any measuring cup or tool to measure out this drink and can increase it to make more than one drink at once, just be sure that you use equal amounts of all four ingredients.
Make Ahead – This drink can easily be made up to two days ahead (it will start to lose flavor after that point). Store it in the refrigerator and shake individual portions with ice just before serving.
