Ingredients
Method
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the bourbon, gin, lemon juice and simple syrup.
- Shake well for 10-15 seconds.
- Strain into an ice-filled double rocks glass.
- Garnish with a healthy tuft of mint sprigs or a lemon peel. Enjoy!
Mexican Mint Simple Syrup
- Add the mint leaves into a small sauce pot with the sugar. Very gently muddle for a few seconds to release the oils.
- Add in the water and stir to combine.*
- Heat to boiling, and immediately reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Transfer to a tightly-sealed container. Lasts up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
- *(If you're just making plain simple syrup, skip the mint, combine the sugar and water in a small sauce pot, and follow the instructions from there.)
