Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until well chilled. 5. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass. 6. Carefully spoon the citrus cloud onto the surface of the drink. **Glass:** - Chilled coupe glass **Advanced Technique:** Utilize molecular mixology to create the citrus cloud, giving the cocktail an innovative and visually stunning appeal.
