For a smoother cocktail, use simple syrup instead of superfine sugar. Make it by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over heat, then cooling. Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar or simple syrup. Freshly squeezed lime juice is essential for the best flavor. Avoid using bottled lime juice. Chill your glass beforehand for an extra refreshing experience. Experiment with different gins to find your favorite flavor profile. A London Dry gin provides a classic, crisp taste, while other styles may offer more floral or citrusy notes.
