AdInstructions
- If there is time, chill the shaker, the gin and the highball glass in the fridge for at least two hours beforehand.
- Press the mint sprigs gently with the gin in the shaker, just enough to release their aroma.
- Add the simple syrup and Angostura bitters, fill the shaker with ice and shake.
- Strain into the highball glass filled with crushed ice.
- Stir with a bar spoon, lifting the ice through the drink. Add more crushed ice to fill the glass and stir once more.
- Garnish with a mint sprig and serve with straws.
