# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The mint and citrus dance together in this way that feels like spring in a glass
  • It comes together in literally five minutes but looks like something a bartender would charge you sixteen dollars for
02 -
  • Shaking time matters, too little and the drink isnt properly diluted, too much and youll over dilute the flavors
  • The quality of your lemon juice is non negotiable, bottled stuff will make this taste completely different
03 -
  • If you want a lighter version, top with club soda after straining into your glass
  • Lime juice instead of lemon completely transforms the profile into something brighter and more tropical
