Hello, I noticed the white cloud recipe ([totaltikiinline.com](http://totaltikiinline.com)) doesn’t mention the kind of ice to use in the glass. The picture of the cocktail shows a little ice. After straining into a glass should pebble ice, ice cubes or no ice be used? Thanks for your help and time.

I’m not sure there’s a “right answer” to this question—i.e., Mariano maybe didn’t include that level of detail in his notebook. Beachbum Berry’s edit of the recipe suggests that the drink is strained, like a cocktail. On the other hand, the drink in the photo appears to contain some crushed ice. You should probably go with whatever works for you and your glassware!

Thank you for the information Martin. I greatly appreciate it.
