Method
Main Cocktail
Muddle mint
Place the fresh mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. Add the simple syrup. Gently muddle the mint just to release the aromatic oils — avoid tearing the leaves into small bits.
Add spirits and citrus
Add the Irish whiskey, Green Chartreuse and fresh lime juice to the shaker with the muddled mint.
Shake with ice
Fill the shaker with ice (about 4–6 large cubes or equivalent). Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and well-diluted.
Prepare glass
If using crushed-ice presentation: fill a rocks glass or short coupe with crushed ice. If using large-cube presentation: place a large ice cube in a chilled rocks glass.
Double strain and serve
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass (use a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer) to remove mint fragments and small ice chips. If served over crushed ice, pack the crushed ice around the pour for an even chill.
Garnish
Float the thin green apple slice on top or place it on the rim. Slap a small mint sprig between your palms to release aromatics and garnish on top. Optionally express a lime twist over the drink for extra citrus oil.
Optional Temperature/Finish
If you prefer a lighter herbal presence, reduce the Green Chartreuse to 1/4 oz and increase simple syrup to 1/2 oz to balance sweetness.
