Cocktail

Muddle
In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the simple syrup. Gently muddle the mint just enough to release fragrant oils — about 4–6 light presses. Avoid over-muddling to prevent bitterness.

Build
Add the Absolut Vodka (2 oz), fresh lime juice (0.75 oz), and orange liqueur (0.5 oz) to the shaker with the muddled mint. Fill the shaker with ice (enough to chill, roughly 1 cup).

Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels cold and slightly frosted.

Garnish & Serve
Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim and a mint sprig. Clap the mint between your hands once to release aroma before adding it as a garnish. Serve immediately.
