🥄 Equipment

• highball glass
• jigger
• cocktail shaker
• Hawthorne strainer
• bar spoon
• Muddler

📋 Ingredients

• 5 -10 Mint leaves
• 1 oz Lime Juice
• .5 oz Simple syrup
• 4.5 oz Club soda
• Ice

👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

Step one

Start up by gathering everything you’ll need. This should include a muddler, bar spoon, mint leaves, cocktail shaker, Hawthorne strainer, jigger, ice, club soda, lime juice, highball glass and simple syrup.

Step two

Fill your highball glass up to the brim with ice.

Step three

Take 3 to 5 mint leaves and place them into the bottom of the cocktail shaker.

Step four

Measure out 0.5 oz of simple syrup and add it to the cocktail shaker with the mint leaves.

Step Five

Use your muddler to muddle the mint leaves and simple syrup together. It’s important that you do this correctly so that you get the mint flavor without pulverizing the leaves too much.

To do this, you want to make sure that you are gently smushing the leaves just enough to release the juices. But, not using so much force that you’re tearing the leaves apart.

Step Six

Grab a handful or so of ice and toss it into the cocktail shaker.

Measure out one ounce of lime juice and add it to the cocktail shaker.

Step Seven

Place the cocktail shaker lid on. Then, shake vigorously for 15 or so seconds to make sure that you chill and thoroughly combine all the ingredients.

Step Eight

Remove the lid from the shaker and replace it with the hop horn strainer. Then, strain your drink into the highball glass over the ice.

Step Nine

Take your bottle of club soda and pour it directly into the glass to top it off. This usually will take around 4 and ½ to 5 oz.

Step Ten

Use your bar spoon and place it in your glass. Then, stir well so that everything is thoroughly mixed.

Add a few mint leaves on the top of the drink as a garnish and start sipping.
