👩🏻🍳 Instructions
Step one
Make sure you got everything you need for this mocktail. This should include mint leaves, mango simple syrup, muddler, shaker, jigger, glass, ice, lime juice and club soda.
Step two
Fill your glass up to the top with ice.
Step three
Pour 1 oz of mango simple syrup into the jigger and add that to the cocktail shaker.
Step four
Toss five or so mint leaves into the shaker with the mango simple syrup. Then, use the muddler to muddle them together.
The key to muddling is to ensure that you press the leaves enough to release their juices and flavor, but don’t pulverize them to the point where they’re torn apart.
Step Five
Measure 1 oz of lime juice with a jigger. Then pour that into the shaker.
Step Six
Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker. Then, place the lid on the shaker and shake for 15 to 20 seconds. Once the shaker is icy on the outside you can stop shaking.
Take off the lid to the shaker and place the Hawthorne strainer over top of it. Then, strain your drink into the glass.
Step Seven
Grab up the club soda and pour it directly into your glass. It should take about 5 oz or so, you want the glass to be completely filled.
Step Eight
Finally, take the bar spoon and put it into the glass. Stir everything together so that it is thoroughly mixed.
