- add either a splash of Orange juice (if using 4oz midori and 2 oz vodka) or top the glass off with a few ounces of Orange juice (if using 2 oz Midori and 1 oz vodka).
- Dump everything from your rocks glass into your shaker. And then from your shaker back to your rocks glass. This ensure everything mixes well.
