Method

How to make The Heritage

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid cold ice and seal it securely.

  4. 04

    Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the orange-apple sour is thoroughly chilled and properly diluted.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled Martini glass so no pulp or small ice fragments enter the drink.
