Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass and mint

Select a large wine glass (or an old-fashioned glass). Add 8 fresh mint leaves into the glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently bruise the mint leaves 2–3 times to release aroma and oils. Avoid over-muddling — you want fragrance, not bitterness.

2

Add ice and liqueur

Fill the glass with ice cubes until about three-quarters full (approximately 1 cup). Pour 1.5 oz St-Germain over the ice and mint.

3

Citrus

Cut half a lime and squeeze about 0.5 oz (half the lime) into the glass, being careful to avoid seeds. If you prefer less acidity, use 1/4 lime instead.

4

Top with bubbles

Gently pour 3 oz chilled Prosecco into the glass. Then top with 1 oz chilled club soda. Pour slowly so the drink retains some effervescence.

5

Stir and garnish

Give the cocktail one or two gentle stirs with a bar spoon to combine ingredients without dissipating the bubbles. Slap the mint sprig once between your palms to release its aroma and tuck it into the glass as garnish.

6

Serve

Serve immediately while cold and effervescent. Optionally add a thin lime wheel or wedge on the rim for presentation.
