Calories 224kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ounces London Dry gin
- 8 leaves fresh mint
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- mint sprig for garnish
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle together gin and mint leaves. Allow to rest for a few minutes.
- Add simple syrup and lime juice to the shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass. Add a couple dashes of orange bitters.
- Garnish with a mint sprig. Serve and enjoy responsibly.
Notes
Don’t over-muddle the mint. Aim to bruise the leaves gently to release their aromatic oils without pulverizing them.
Give it some time! Allowing the gin and mint mixture to rest for a few minutes before adding the remaining ingredients gives the flavors extra time to meld together, enhancing the overall taste of the drink.
You can use 2 ounces of sour mix instead of the simple syrup and lime juice.
