Making one of these amazing cocktails?  Or all of them?  Need your Argento Fino?  Please make sure you stop by the Easy Leaf Products page and order your own box!!!



Sugar Rim...

To rim a glass, moisten the rim of the glass with a lemon wedge and dip into a bowl of superfine or baker’s sugar



Making Lemon Spirals...

To make a long lemon spiral…using a paring knife, start at the top and peel the entire lemon like an apple (about ¼ - ½ inch wide).  The paring knife should be kept between the peel and the pith.  Practice makes perfect!



Chilling a Cocktail Glass...

 

Fill cocktail glass with fresh ice prior to creating your cocktail.  When your cocktail is completed, discard ice from glass, and pour your cocktail into the chilled glass.  Do not dry your glass!
