Kori's Tips

Use cold ingredients (it keeps the ice from melting and watering down your drink).
Pre-prep your ingredients if you are serving to a large number of guests.
Adjust any ingredient to your tastes.
When you muddle the mint and lime together only give it about 7 or 8 turns. This prevents the mint from becoming bitter but is just enough to release the oils and juices.
For a keto cocktail make sure to use diet sugar-free cranberry juice, diet sugar-free tonic water, and a sugar substitute with a 1:1 sugar ratio.
