Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs whenever possible. Fresh herbs will give your cocktail a more vibrant flavor than dried herbs.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. However, you will need to use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of herbs. Rosemary, thyme, and lemon are a classic combination, but you could also try using other herbs like basil, mint, or sage.
  • Use high-quality liquor. The better the liquor, the better your cocktail will be.
  • Don't over-shake your cocktail. Over-shaking will dilute the cocktail and make it watery.
  • Serve your cocktail immediately. Cocktails are best when they are served fresh.
