  3. **Shake:** Fill the shaker with ice and shake well for 15-20 seconds until thoroughly chilled.
  4. **Strain:** Double strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass filled with ice.
  5. **Top:** Top with ginger ale and gently stir.
  6. **Garnish (optional):** Garnish with a fresh berry or a lemon twist.
  7. **Enjoy!**
