Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients: vodka, triple sec, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, fresh mint leaves, club soda, ice cubes, mint sprig, and lemon slice.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Mint

    In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Do not shred them, just press gently.

  3. 3

    Add the Liquids

    To the shaker with muddled mint, add the vodka, triple sec, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.

  4. 4

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Fill a highball glass with fresh ice cubes. Using a strainer, pour the mixed cocktail into the glass over the ice.

  6. 6

    Top with Club Soda

    Add club soda to the top of the glass, giving it a gentle stir to combine without disturbing the mint.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the cocktail with a sprig of mint and a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
