For a visually stunning cocktail, consider adding a dash of crème de violette. It will give the drink a subtle floral aroma and a beautiful lavender hue. Use high-quality gin for the best flavor profile. London Dry gins are a classic choice. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference. Some prefer a slightly sweeter or more tart cocktail. Shake well to ensure the cocktail is properly chilled and diluted.
