Method

How to make Deep South

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one clear heavy rocks glass and cut exactly one very small thin fresh lime wedge for garnish.

  2. 02

    Place two thumbnail-sized fresh ginger slices in the base of a shaker and muddle firmly to release their juice and aroma.

  3. 03

    Add 45 ml dry gin, 45 ml fresh orange juice, 22.5 ml fresh lime juice, and solid cold ice.

  4. 04

    Shake hard for 10–12 seconds until the citrus and ginger are thoroughly chilled and integrated.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled rocks glass filled with clean crushed ice so no ginger fibers enter the drink.

  6. 06

    Set the single compact lime wedge neatly at the rim and serve without orange, ginger, herbs, or another garnish.
