Cocktail Pro-Tips: Always measure your ingredients. Use large square ice cubes, which last longer and will not dilute the cocktail. Using a mixing straw, insert straw into cocktail, place finger over the end to capture a small amount, remove from the cocktail, and sample the cocktail for balance, before serving it.
