A LITTLE CEREMONY
The method.
Prepare your glass
Set out a clean julep cup for each serving. Fill it with 120 g fresh crushed ice just before straining.
Measure into your shaker
For one serving, gently press the measured citrus quarter-wheels for mixing with the caster sugar three times in the shaker. Add both measured sherries. Keep the separate garnish fruit aside.
Shake with confidence
Measure the still ingredients first. Add the recipe’s mixing ice, seal the shaker, and hold both parts firmly. Shake for the stated time. Keep bubbles and garnish outside the shaker.
Shake until properly cold
Use one serving of the measured ingredients per batch. Add 180 g cubed ice and seal the shaker. Shake firmly until the outside feels very cold. Repeat with fresh mixing ice for each serving.
Shake with confidence

Strain and finish
Use a cocktail strainer and a fine-mesh sieve to pour into the prepared julep cup. Double-strain through the cocktail strainer and fine sieve to hold the citrus pieces back. Add the measured raspberries and garnish quarter-wheels, then serve with a straw.
Use two strainers
Hold the mixing ice back with the cocktail strainer. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve held above the serving glass; it catches small ice chips and fruit or herb fragments.
