Ingredients

Batch (12 drinks) - about 1.02 l of measured ingredients, before ice and dilution.

Timings and per-glass steps are written for one drink and are not scaled. A full jug takes longer to chill, so stir or shake until it is properly cold rather than by the clock, and pour over fresh ice one glass at a time.

Quick version

Method

  1. Put the mint leaves in the bottom of a shaker with the syrup and press them gently with a muddler - twice is enough.
  2. Add the gin, lime juice and ice, and shake for 10 seconds.
  3. Double strain into a chilled coupe, or over ice in a highball if the evening is warm.
  4. Slap a mint sprig against your palm and rest it on the rim.
