• ½ oz. vodka

• 1 oz. sweet and sour

• 1 oz. orange juice

• ½ oz. orgeat syrup

HOW TO SHAKE A COCKTAIL

Fill the cocktail shaker half way ice and add the cocktail ingredients. Close the shaker firmly, and hold it with your right hand wrapped around the top and your left hand cradling the bottom. Raise the shaker over your shoulder and shake hard until the drink is chilled, 10 to 15 seconds. Strain it into a glass—a good shake will leave a layer of very fine ice shards on the surface of the drink

 

There are many variations of this recipe. This is the original from Trader Vic
