What tips do you have when making the The Sol Y Sombra Shot?

For the Sol Y Sombra, use a good quality brandy - it’s the star of the show. Ensure your anisette is chilled, it’ll add a crispness to the cocktail. Don’t overshake, a gentle stir keeps the brandy’s complexity intact. A lemon twist, not a squeeze, gives a subtle citrus note without overwhelming the brandy and anisette.
