Bright red in the glass, and it lands as citrus first — the bitterness shows up a beat later, from underneath. Press the mint gently and stop there; crush it and you get chlorophyll, which tastes like a lawn. Equal parts makes it drink like juice, which is how I lose afternoons.
Ingredients
- 1 ozBourbon
- 1 ozLemon juice
- 1 ozOrange juice
- 1 ozCynar or Campari — Campari is preferred
- ½ ozSimple syrup
- —Fresh mint leaves
Garnish
Orange wheel (optional)
Method
Pour the ingredients into a shaker and gently muddle the mint (do not crush; you do not want to express the chlorophyll from the leaves); fill with ice. Shake gently and strain into a Collins glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with an orange wheel and enjoy.
