Serving tips:
- Place your glasses in the fridge overnight until serving your cocktails.
- To frost the rims simply dip the glass upside down in a preferred liquid or circle with a lemon or lime wedge. Then dip the glass into a plate filled with a granulated substance, such as castor sugar, that will pair well with your drink.
- To crush ice fill a blender with ice cubes or cover an ice bag with a towel and slam it with a heavy metal or wooden utensil such as a rolling pin.
