Chef's tips
A copper mug keeps the drink extra cold. You can use local peach brandy instead of vodka for a Western Slope twist.
Storage
Best made fresh and consumed immediately.
Reheating
Not applicable.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Using bottled lime juice instead of fresh juice, which dulls the bright flavor.
- •Letting the drink sit too long before serving, which waters it down.
