1 ½ parts St. Germain
1 – 1 ½ parts Rykoff Sexton fresh squeezed Key lime juice

lime wheels for garnish

Fill a cocktail shaker to the brim with ice and add all ingredients except the lime wheels. Shake vigorously til condensation appears on the outside of the shaker.* Strain and serve up in a martini glass or glassware of your choice. Garnish with a lime wheel.
