Method

How to make Waltzing Matilda

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one clear Collins glass, halve one ripe passion fruit, and cut exactly one thin small orange wheel for garnish.

    Keep the ginger ale aside, fill the shaker with solid cold ice, seal it, and shake hard for 10–12 seconds.
