  3. Cut the peeled lemon in half and using a Mexican elbow juice half of it. Measure 20ml of fresh lemon juice and 15ml of homemade sugar syrup and add them to the shaker.
  4. Measure 40ml of gin and add it to the shaker.
  5. Now add the ice to the shaker and close it tight. Give it a quick shake.
