Method
Preparation
Muddle Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Do not shred the leaves; just bruise them enough to release flavor.
Add Shochu and Simple Syrup
Pour in the Japanese shochu and simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint and lime juice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Add Soda Water
Slowly pour the soda water over the mixture, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
Garnishing
Garnish the Drink
Add the lime wedges to the glass for garnish. Top with a fresh sprig of mint for added aroma and presentation.
