Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Mixing the Base

    In a large cocktail shaker, combine the fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and gin. Fill the shaker with ice cubes, covering the liquid.

  2. 2

    Shaking

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

  3. 3

    Straining

    Use a fine mesh strainer to pour the mixture into a large glass filled with ice cubes, allowing the liquid to flow while leaving any pulp behind.

  4. 4

    Adding Soda

    Top the prepared cocktail with soda water, gently stirring to combine without losing the fizz.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Adding Mint

    Garnish the cocktail with fresh mint leaves by gently slapping them between your hands to release their aroma before placing them on top.

  2. 6

    Final Touch

    Add lime wedges to the rim of the glass for an extra touch of flavor and decoration.
