AdInstructions
- Put the mint sprig and gin in the bottom of a shaker and muddle gently, just enough to bruise the leaves.
- Add the simple syrup, lemon juice and lime juice, fill with ice and shake.
- Fine strain into a highball glass filled halfway with crushed ice.
- Stir with a bar spoon, lifting the ice through the drink so it churns together.
- Pack in more crushed ice until it mounds above the rim, then churn once more.
- Garnish with a mint sprig and serve with straws.
