Tips
- Pre-chill the glass before straining so the drink doesn't lose its chill sitting on room-temperature glass.
- Bruise the mint sprig lightly between your fingers before garnishing to release aroma without dropping leaf fragments into the glass.
- Stir over ice until well chilled, then strain onto a fresh large cube — the block ice keeps dilution slow in this low-proof build.
