Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
-
- Make sure to leave room at the top of the glass for the smoke. Don't fill the cocktail all the way to the top.
- You can use vodka instead of gin if you prefer.
- Adjust the sweetness and add a bit more lime juice for a tarter cocktail or a bit more simple syrup if you like it sweeter.
