Blackberry Liqueur
Used for its sweet and tart berry flavors, the 1.5oz measurement offers a fruit-forward base without being cloying. Less could make the drink too subtle, more, too sweet. Substitute with crème de mûre for a similar profile.
Mary Mitkina
Gin
1oz of gin provides a botanical backbone. It complements the fruit while not overpowering the other flavors. Less gin might lead to a too fruity cocktail, while more could make it overly herbaceous. A floral gin can add a new dimension.
Mary Mitkina
Lemon Juice
At 0.5oz, lemon juice adds acidity to balance sweetness and provides a refreshingly sharp edge. Too little, and the cocktail might feel flat; too much could make it sour. Lime juice could be a zesty alternative.
Alex Green
Absinthe
A small 0.25oz dose introduces an anise flavor and complexity. Without it, the cocktail lacks its mysterious edge. Overdo it, and it might dominate the drink. Pernod can be a milder substitute.

Add your ingredients to the shaker first, then ice. Fill it up to ¾ of its capacity to ensure enough space for shaking. Hold the shaker with both hands (one on the top and one on the bottom) and shake vigorously. The shake should come from your shoulders, not your wrists.
Learn everything on how to shakePlace your chosen strainer on top of the shaker or mixing glass, ensuring a secure fit. Pour the cocktail into a glass through the strainer, which will catch solid ingredients and ice. If double straining, hold the fine mesh strainer between the shaker and the glass.
