A demonstration from Val, a bartender at the recently closed PKNY Tiki bar in New York City. He has a somewhat unusual method regarding the shaking and the ice, although what he's doing makes sense. I tend to prefer a little less lime juice in mine -- 3/4 ounce -- but I'm not as big a fan of tartness as some people.*
*Is "tartness" a word?
A dry shake then add ice? That's gonna be pretty strong.

Yes. Although with the crushed ice, it will melt pretty quickly and start to dilute. Doesn't seem necessary.
