⚛︎ Chill a cocktail glass and set it aside. 

⚛︎ Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add all your ingredients. 

⚛︎ Shake well to chill and combine.

⚛︎ Double strain into a chilled glass. 

⚛︎ Garnish with a lemon zest flower, spritz with orange blossom water & serve.

*Make a saline solution: Mix 20 g of salt with 80 ml of water. Shake until it's clear and keep in a dropper dispenser. Why a salt solution? It reduces bitterness and enhances citrus flavours.
