  2. Step 2: Shake vigorously for 12 seconds until the shaker feels well chilled and frosty on the outside.
  3. Step 3: Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice cubes, leaving some space at the top.
  4. Step 4: Slowly top with 2 oz club soda to create a gentle fizz without disturbing the layers.
