Legspreader recipe

My favorite one. I sought the recipe that could mostly be compared to the Italian cocktail "Quattro bianchi" (Four Whiteys). It's quite bitter and heavy, nearly a "killer" such as Long islands and similars, for unskilled mouths.

I suggest two things:
a) in this "straight" version, just use Cointreau instead of tequila, and pour some ice as well: Cointreau helps ice melt down with a light and fascinating gray, misty shadow that will give the glass some new "consistence".
b) a "strawberry version" might be lighter and sweeter to most mouths, and gives an appropriate fresh flavor to one of the heaviest cocktail on bars' tables...
