For the Cocktail

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker about halfway with ice.

Notes

To achieve the best results, ensure your ingredients are at room temperature except for the ice. Chill the martini glass before serving for an extra-frosty experience. Adjust sweetness with maple syrup and experiment with flavors for a personalized touch.
