If you don't have a cocktail shaker, don't worry! Here are a couple of alternative methods:
Mason Jar Method:
Use a large mason jar with a lid. Add all ingredients, cover tightly, and shake. This is a great alternative that gives the same results.
Stirring Method:
For a gentler mixing technique, add all ingredients to the glass, except soda water, and stir well. Top with soda water and gently stir again. This method results in a slightly less frothy drink but is still delicious.
