Notes
*There are many factors that go into getting a perfectly diluted and chilled drink without watering it down too much. But there are many factors that get into it. The quality and temperature of your ice is one of the most important ones. The real art is making them with different kinds of ice and often and then you will feel with your hand the temperature of the glass and the taste will be just right.
