A few things that'll make this one easier to pull off.
Cocktail Shaker$15–$30
You'll want a real shaker for this one. The mason jar method works in a pinch, but trust us.
Jigger$8–$12
Eyeballing measurements is an art. But a jigger is cheaper than wasting good bourbon.
Hawthorne Strainer$7–$12
Keeps the ice and bits where they belong. Nobody wants chunks in their cocktail.
