Method
Cocktail Preparation
Muddle the Mint
In a cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
Add the Liquids
Pour the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup into the shaker with the muddled mint. Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid.
Shake It Up
Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, ensuring the ingredients are well combined and chilled.
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice. Top with soda water and stir gently to combine.
