Another one from good ol’ Bill Edwards How to Mix Drinks.
- 2 oz Old Tom Gin
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1 spring fresh mint
- Simple syrup to taste
Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with cubed ice (the bigger the better, you’re going to want to beat the hell out of the mint). Shake well – at least 30 seconds, and then double strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf. We recommend using bigger ice cubes so you can really bring out the color and flavor of the mint in the shaker.
