Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Glass

Fill a highball glass with ice cubes to chill it while you prepare the drink.

2

Muddle Juniper Berries

In a separate glass or cocktail shaker, add the juniper berries. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the juniper berries to release their oils and flavor.

3

Add Gin

Pour 2 oz of gin over the muddled juniper berries and stir gently to combine the flavors.

4

Squeeze Lime Juice

Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into the gin and juniper mixture, stirring to combine. Reserve the other half for garnish.

5

Combine with Tonic Water

Strain the gin and juniper mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Slowly pour 4 oz of tonic water over the mixture to avoid excessive fizzing.

Garnishing

6

Add Mint and Lime Wedge

Garnish the drink with 5 fresh mint leaves and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for added aroma and visual appeal.
