Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Herbs

    Rinse the fresh mint and basil leaves under cold water to remove any dirt. Gently pat them dry with a clean towel.

  2. 2

    Juice the Lemon

    Cut the lemon in half and use a citrus juicer or your hands to extract the juice from one half. Reserve the other half for garnish.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a shaker or large glass, combine the fresh mint leaves, basil leaves, lemon juice, and orgeat syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the herbs against the sides of the glass, releasing their oils and flavors.

  4. 4

    Add Tonic Water

    Pour the Fevertree cucumber tonic into the glass with the muddled herbs and syrup mixture. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Cut the reserved half lemon into wedges. Add ice to the glass if desired, then garnish the drink with a lemon wedge and a sprig of fresh mint.
