Steps
Steps
- 1Chill a cocktail glass.
- 2Put the mint leaves in a shaker with the gin, lime juice and simple syrup. Don't muddle: the ice bruises the mint enough, and crushed leaves turn bitter.
- 3Fill the shaker with ice and shake hard for 10–12 seconds.
- 4Double strain through a fine sieve into the chilled glass, so no flecks of mint get through.
- 5Garnish with a mint sprig, slapped between your palms to release its scent.
