Notes

This can be shaken or poured, but always use good quality ice when making a cocktail
If you have 24 hours, you can make any flavor liqueur that your bar at home might be missing.
If you make your own liqueur, it can be as sweet as you like.
If you are using certain store bought liqueurs, your drink might end up being clear instead. Thats ok too. Just not as pretty.
