Method

Step 1

Press down on 9 mint leaves in a cocktail shaker using a muddler to extract juices and flavour.

Step 2

Using a jigger, measure 25ml Blanco Tequila, 50ml lime juice, 10ml lemon juice and 50ml water into the shaker. Add ice cubes.

Step 3

Shake the mixture vigorously until the surface of the cocktail shaker feels chilled. Fill a tall glass with crushed ice. Strain the mixture into the glass with a cocktail strainer.

Step 4

Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a wedge of lime.

Grab a bite

Get some grub in before or while you’re drinking – it slows alcohol absorption.
