Method

Cocktail

Build and shake

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add 2 oz gin, 0.75 oz freshly squeezed lime juice, and 0.75 oz simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is chilled and slightly frosted.

Strain

Fill a Collins glass with fresh ice. Double-strain the shaken mixture into the glass to remove small ice shards and any pulp.

Top and stir

Top the drink with about 3 oz chilled club soda. Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to integrate the soda without flattening the effervescence.

Garnish & Serve

Garnish the glass with a lime wheel on the rim and, if using, a fresh mint sprig lightly slapped to release aroma. Serve with a straw and enjoy.
