Garnish & Finish
Method
Cocktail
- 1
Muddle mint
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Gently muddle 6–8 times — press to release oils but do not shred the mint.
- 2
Add liquids
Add Patrón Silver tequila (2 oz), fresh pineapple juice (3 oz), fresh lime juice (0.75 oz), and Cointreau (0.5 oz) into the shaker with the muddled mint.
- 3
Add bitters and ice
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters and fill the shaker with cubed ice until about three-quarters full.
- 4
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.
Serve & Garnish
- 5
Prepare glass
If using salt, lightly rim one side of a rocks glass with a lime wedge and dip the rim into flaked sea salt or smoked salt (optional). Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice.
- 6
Double strain
Double-strain the shaken cocktail over the crushed ice in the prepared glass using both the shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove mint bits and small ice shards for a clean texture.
- 7
Top and finish
Top with a small cascade of crushed ice if desired. Place a pineapple wedge on the rim and garnish with a fresh mint sprig. Optionally clap the mint between your hands first to release aromatics.
