How to make it

1. Muddle the Base

  1. Drop the lemon wedges, fresh mint leaves, and simple syrup straight into a cocktail shaker.
  2. Muddle firmly for about 10 seconds to press out the lemon juice and oils without tearing the mint to shreds.

2. Shake and Strain

  1. Pour in the 60ml of bourbon.
  2. Fill the shaker with plenty of ice, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for 10 to 12 seconds until frosty.
  3. Fine strain the liquid into a rocks glass packed to the brim with crushed ice.

3. Garnish and Serve

  1. Crown the drink with a bushy sprig of fresh mint and a lemon wheel, then serve immediately.

Garnish

A generous fresh mint sprig (clapped between your palms to release fragrance) and a thin lemon wheel.

Make it alcohol-free

Replace the bourbon with 60ml of a non-alcoholic bourbon alternative (such as Lyre's American Malt or Gnista Barrelled Oak) and add a dash of non-alcoholic aromatic bitters.
