Description
Defy gravity with this flavorful and sophisticated cocktail.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 mint leaves
- 1 1/2 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 4 oz gin (we used The Botanist)
- 1/2 oz absinthe (make sure it’s green in color)
- 2 egg whites
Instructions
- Place mint leaves in the bottom of the cocktail shaker.
- Use a non-textured muddler and gently press, turn, and release. Repeat a few times to release the oils of the mint leaves. Be careful not to over-muddle which will release a bitter flavor.
- Add lime juice, simple syrup, gin, absinthe, and egg whites to shaker. Dry shake the ingredients without ice vigorously for about 20 seconds.
- Add ice and shake again until frost forms.
- Strain into chilled coupe glass.
- Garnish with mint leaves.
