COCKTAIL RECIPES

or vice versa.

The Classic Preparation

Use a tea strainer (unless you can find an

then place the strainer, with sugar cube inside
over the glass. Pack a mound of your ice atop
the sugar. When the ice has melted, the drip
is ready. For those with no patience, cold
water can be slowly poured over the strainer
until the sugar is gone and the glass is full
(this however makes for a weaker drink).
