Ingredients

Steps

  1. Add all ingredients except the club soda into a shaker and vigorously dry-shake (without ice) for 10 seconds. Add ice and shake again until well-chilled.

  2. Strain into a Collins glass.

  3. Fill with the club soda, pouring from about 6 inches above the glass.

  4. Wait a few seconds and then add another splash of soda. This will lift the foam above the top of the glass.

  5. Serve with a straw.
