Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Prep glass

If serving over ice, fill a rocks glass with ice to chill while you mix. If serving up, chill a coupe or martini glass in the freezer or fill with ice water and set aside.

2

Muddle mint

In the cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the simple syrup (0.25 oz). Gently muddle the mint 6–8 times to release the oils. Avoid over-muddling to prevent bitterness.

3

Combine ingredients

Add Flecha Azul blanco mezcal (2 oz), pastis (0.25 oz), and fresh lime juice (0.75 oz) to the shaker with the muddled mint. Add a generous scoop of ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker.

4

Shake

Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds, until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted.

5

Double strain

Discard the chilling ice from your serving glass (if used). Fine-strain the cocktail into the prepared chilled coupe or over fresh ice in the rocks glass using a Hawthorne or fine mesh strainer to remove small mint bits and ice shards.

6

Optional top

If you prefer a lighter finish, top the cocktail with 1 oz club soda and give it a gentle stir to integrate.

7

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint (clap it between your hands to release aromatics) and a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.

Tools

8

Use the jigger to measure spirits and juices accurately. Use the muddler gently on mint. Use the strainer to remove solids and ice shards.
