Mojito's gin cousin

Glass Coupe
Method Shaken
Garnish mint sprig

A minty gin sour with Prohibition-era roots in New York's South Side. Bright, herbal, and cooling — like a Gimlet and a Mojito had an elegant baby.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Gin
  • 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 oz Simple Syrup
  • 6 leaves Fresh Mint

Method

Muddle mint leaves gently in a shaker. Add gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and ice. Shake vigorously. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a mint sprig.
