Cook's Notes
Double straining this cocktail removes any additional ice shards that may have made their way through the first strain, assuring a perfectly smooth and creamy result. Hold a fine-mesh cocktail strainer above the serving glass with one hand and pour the liquid through the standard strainer into it, shaking or tapping as needed to allow the drink to flow through.
