Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mint

    Take the fresh mint leaves and gently bruise them by pressing them with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their oils. Set aside.

    Add Ice

    Fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes to the top.

  4. 4

    Shake the Cocktail

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to mix and chill the ingredients.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Strain the mixture into a chilled glass filled with fresh ice cubes, ensuring the mint leaves are left in the shaker.

  6. 6

    Top with Soda
