Preparation: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Slice fresh fruits such as lime, lemon, or berries into thin wedges. Prepare ice cubes and chill your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes for a frosty finish.
Mixing the Base: In a cocktail shaker, combine 4 oz of your preferred liquor (such as vodka, rum, or gin) with 2 oz of freshly squeezed citrus juice and 1 oz of simple syrup. Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker.
Shaking: Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for 20–30 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty. This ensures the ingredients are well mixed and chilled.
Serving: Strain the cocktail mixture into two chilled glasses filled with fresh ice. Garnish with the sliced fruits or a sprig of mint for a refreshing finish. Enjoy your cocktails!
