Method

Cocktail

1

Muddle

Place the mint leaves in the bottom of a mixing glass or shaker. Add the simple syrup and gently muddle the mint 3–4 times to release aromatic oils. Avoid over-muddling to prevent bitterness.

2

Combine

Add Jack Daniel's Whiskey (2 oz), freshly squeezed lemon juice (0.75 oz), and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the muddled mint and syrup in the shaker.

3

Shake

Fill the shaker with ice, cap, and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted.

4

Prepare glass

If serving over ice: fill a rocks glass with large ice cubes. If serving straight up: chill a coupe or cocktail glass and strain into it.

5

Strain & Pour

Double-strain the contents of the shaker through a fine mesh strainer (or use the shaker’s strainer) into the prepared glass over fresh ice. This removes mint bits and broken ice for a clean drink.

6

Optional top

If you prefer a lighter, slightly fizzy drink, top with ~1 oz club soda. Gently stir once to combine.

Garnish

7

Express the lemon wheel’s oils over the drink by holding it peel-side down and giving it a quick squeeze, then run the peel around the rim of the glass. Drop the lemon wheel into the drink.

8

Slap the mint sprig between your palms to wake the aromatics and place it as a garnish on top of the cocktail.
