uwagi
You can use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the drink if you don’t want any lime particles in your drink.
I used Cointreau orange liqueur for this recipe. You can also use other brands of orange liqueur for this recipe, such as Triple Sec, Grand Marnier but Cointreau is the best. Triple Sec tastes more harsh than Cointreau.
Use chilled glass to prepare this drink - you can either fill your glass with ice while you're preparing your cocktail or place the glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
The acidity of freshly squeezed lime juice may vary so you may need less for your drink if your limes are very sour.
