0.75 oz lemon juice

Recipe Note
*For a non-alcoholic version, use Blutul Rosé in place of Lillet Rosé. Or you could use any NA Rosé wine with a couple dashes of All The Bitter New Orleans Bitters.
**Dry shaking the ingredients in a cocktail shaker helps to integrate and aerate the flavors of the cocktail while avoiding overdilution. This technique is useful when making non-alcoholic cocktails with Free Spirits.
