    Add mint leaves to a cocktail shaker and gently muddle to release the oils without tearing the leaves.

  3. 3

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds.

  4. 4

    Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled cocktail glass to remove all mint debris.

  5. 5

    Garnish with a fresh mint sprig.

From the Bartender

Muddle mint gently - just enough pressure to bruise the leaves and release their aromatic oils. Over-muddling tears the leaves and releases bitter chlorophyll, which will muddy the drink's bright, clean character.
