Method

How to make Smile Cocktail

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill the coupe thoroughly, confirm that no garnish is required, and ready the shaker.

  2. 02

    Measure grenadine, gin, lemon juice accurately and add them to a clean cocktail shaker.

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid ice cubes and seal it firmly.

  4. 04

    Pre-chill a small coupe, measure only half a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, add it with the gin and grenadine to a shaker filled with solid ice, shake for 10–15 seconds until very cold and integrated, fine-strain into the chilled glass, let coarse bubbles settle, and serve without garnish.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so no small ice fragments reach the drink.

  6. 06

    Serve immediately without a garnish while the drink is at its best.
