Put ice in your shaker and add the drink ingredients. If the ingredients include a sparkling liquid, put it in your glass rather than the shaker with the other ingredients.
Put on the lid and shake for at least 20 seconds. Pour through the holes into your glass. You can also put ice in your glass with any of the cocktails if desired, not just the ones that specifically call for it.
Drinks over ice:

Notes
*1 Orange juice also works well here.
*2 Vanilla Extract made with vodka will work as a substitute.
*3 Simple syrup: 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup water. Optional: Add 1 tablespoon of Karo syrup to help prevent crystals from forming.
Mix in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar completely is dissolved and the mixture is bubbling. Turn off the heat and let cool. Put in a bottle or jar and store in the refrigerator.
*4 Grenadine substitute: 2 parts simple syrup mixed with 1 part pomegranate juice, cranberry juice, red grape juice, or cherry juice.
