Ingredients

  • 50ml Three Wrens Original Dry Gin
  • 25ml Fresh lime juice (or lemon if you prefer)
  • 15ml Sugar syrup (1:1 ratio)
  • 6–8 fresh mint leaves
  • Ice
  • Garnish: Mint sprig

Step-by-Step

  1. Lightly muddle the mint – in a shaker, gently press the mint leaves with the sugar syrup to release flavour (don’t bash them – you’re after aroma, not bitterness).
  2. Add the gin and lime juice – pour them into the shaker.
  3. Add ice and shake hard – shake for 15–20 seconds until well chilled.
  4. Double strain into a coupe glass – use a fine strainer to catch bits of mint and ice.
  5. Garnish – float a fresh mint sprig on top.
