- Toss 5 - 10 mint leaves into a cocktail shaker.
- Add 1 oz of strawberry simple syrup into the shaker.
- Use the muddler to smush the mint leaves gently. They should not be completely torn apart. However, they should be smashed enough to release their juices.
- Toss ice into the shaker.
- Add 1 oz of lime juice to the shaker.
- Put the shaker lid on and shake for about 15 seconds.
- Take the shaker lid off and put the hawthorne strainer on the shaker.
- Strain the mixture into the highball glass.
- Take the jigger and measure 5 - 6 oz of club soda into the highball glass.Pro tip: if you want to skip measuring the club soda, you can. Simply pour it straight into the glass topping the glass off.
- Use the bar spoon, if desired, to give the drink a few good stirs.
- Toss a few mint leaves on top as an optional garnish.
Notes
Strawberry simple syrup - if you don't have this already made, or don't have time to make it. You can simply add 3 - 4 sliced strawberries and 1 oz of simple syrup into the shaker and muddle with the mint leaves.
