For a sweeter cocktail, adjust the amount of simple syrup to your preference. Ensure your ingredients are well-chilled for the best results. Experiment with different gins to find your favorite flavor profile. A London Dry gin provides a classic, balanced taste. If you don't have simple syrup, you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of superfine sugar. Shake well to dissolve.
