Method

- 1
Prepare glass and mint
Choose a large wine glass or stemmed goblet. Place the fresh mint leaves in the bottom of the glass and gently clap them between your palms once to release the aromatics, then add them to the glass. Do not over-muddle — just a light bruise to release oils.

Add ice and St‑Germain
Fill the glass with ice until roughly 3/4 full (about 1 cup). Pour 1 oz St‑Germain over the ice and mint.

Add lime juice
Add 1/2 oz fresh lime juice to the glass to provide brightness and balance the sweetness of the liqueur.
