Viviane's Tips For Amazing Cocktails

1/ Use a muddler with spikes to make sure you crush the fruits thoroughly. The essence in the citrus zest will release all its precious flavor into your drink.

2/ "Over-sugaring" is no less than a sin! We tested all the Scojitos many times to come up with the perfect balance (the sugar should be barely perceptible): It was a hardship on us all... !

3/ Use large ice cubes. The drink will get cold faster when shaken and less diluted.

4/ Make only 2 drinks at a time - as the recipe is written. Muddling more than that is a bit hard and will affect the quality of your drink.

5/ Use fresh ingredients. As with cooking, the freshest ingredients will yield the most delicious cocktails.
