* Before squeezing a lemon or lime, heat it in a microwave for about 15 seconds and then rub it back and forth on the counter top. This easy two-step process results in more juice per piece of fruit.
* You can also serve this cocktail up (with no ice) in a coupe or Nick and Nora glass.
* For cherries, I prefer
Luxardo Maraschino Cherries.
