Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

    In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add the Gin

    Pour in the Beefeater gin into the shaker with the muddled mint.

  3. 3

    Pour in Limonata

    Add the limonata (lemon soda) to the shaker, mixing it gently with the gin and mint.

  4. 4

    Shake it Up

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake gently for about 10-15 seconds to chill the mixture.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Using a strainer, pour the mixture into a highball or cocktail glass filled with ice.

  6. 6

    Top with Bubbles

    Top off the drink with club soda or sparkling water for a refreshing fizz.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of mint for added aroma and presentation.
