Tips and Tricks
A little Crème de Menthe goes a long way. Start with 1 tablespoon per drink and make the cocktail. If you want more mint flavor then simply add another teaspoon to your individual drink.
If using luster dust, please see my post tips above!
Dry Ice: It is very important that you wait until the dry ice has completely dissolved before you drink your cocktail. You do not want to ingest the dry ice. Dry ice will burn you, so either use gloves or tongs to place it in your drink.
