Shake Well:
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled, creamy, and frothy. -
Strain and Serve:
Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. -
Garnish:
Top with a maraschino cherry and a twist of lemon. For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle caramel or vanilla syrup over the foam.
