Instructions

Description: The Verdant Elixir is a refreshing and visually stunning cocktail that celebrates the crispness of mint, complemented by a symphony of botanical flavors. It features homemade mint-infused simple syrup, which, along with clear ice cubes, provides both a clean taste and an elegant presentation. The use of clear ice not only enhances the visual appeal but also ensures a slower melt, providing a more consistent flavor profile as you sip. This cocktail merges the smoothness of gin with a spritz of citrus and an effervescent finish, perfect for a sophisticated evening or a classy garden party. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (preferably a botanical gin) - 3/4 oz Mint-Infused Simple Syrup (prepare by dissolving equal parts sugar and water, adding fresh mint leaves, and simmering until the flavor is extracted; allow to cool) - 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 2 dashes of Orange Bitters - 4 oz Club Soda - 6-8 Clear Ice Cubes (made by using boiled or distilled water in an insulated ice mold) - Fresh Mint Leaves (for garnish) - Lime Wheel (for garnish) Instructions: 1. Fill a mixing glass with some of the clear ice cubes. 2. Add the gin, mint-infused simple syrup, fresh lime juice, and orange bitters to the mixing glass. 3. Gently stir the mixture for about 20-30 seconds to chill and combine the flavors. 4. Strain the mixture into a Collins glass filled with the remaining clear ice cubes. 5. Top off the cocktail with club soda, allowing the bubbles to bring the layers together. 6. Gently slap a sprig of fresh mint between your hands to release its aroma and place it in the glass as a garnish. 7. Add a lime wheel to the rim of the glass for a pop of citrus color.
