Preparation

  1. In a tall glass, lightly press mint into simple syrup with a muddler or long-handled spoon. Fill glass with cracked ice. Add gin and stir energetically with a swizzle stick or long-handled spoon until frost forms on outside of glass. Top off with more cracked ice, plant a mint sprig on top, and serve with a straw.
  • For finely cracked ice, wrap a dozen ice cubes in a linen towel or a canvas bag (a cotton dish towel will do in a pinch, but some ice will cling to cloth). Pulverize ice with a mallet, muddler or rolling pin.
