Suggest a better descriptionThe drink is not blended. It’s shaken until it’s fresh and frosty, then served with the same ice you shook with, about 10 seconds. Do not shake with the lime half in the shaker — it extracts too many oils and bitterness into the drink, and the peel should not be sunk. It’s meant to be rested on top.
- Fresh lime juice is critical. When squeezing, don’t press too hard — extract the juice, not the bitter pith.
Crushed, freshly made ice is key. Not puffy pellet ice. Crushing good, cold, hard cubes just prior to service creates the mouthfeel, correct dilution, and chilling that the Trader desired.
Serve in a wide mouth double rocks to really enjoy the bright fresh aromas.
Garnish with half of a spent lime shell and a fresh mint sprig, designed to look like a small island and palm tree on the surface of your drink
