Pro tip: used crushed ice. Although the Tom Tom bar and restaurant owner says you can use cubed, the crushed ice gives his cocktail that polished look. He told Us: ‘I just happen to have a crushed ice machine, so, I’m taking advantage of that.”
The Fancy AF Cocktails author also dressed up the serving glass with not one, not two, but four garnishes. “
We put the rim of the glass into simple syrup, and then you can use pop rocks or sprinkles, because it’s all about being festive on the fourth of July. Now, we have a beautiful rim job,” he explained.
