For an extra touch of elegance, consider using a cocktail strainer with a fine mesh to ensure a perfectly clear drink. Experiment with different gins to find your preferred flavor profile. A floral gin can add another layer of complexity to the cocktail. Adjust the lemon juice to your taste preferences. If you prefer a slightly sweeter cocktail, reduce the lemon juice by a quarter ounce.
