Serves: makes 1 cocktail
What You’ll Need:
- 50ml Bombay Sapphire
- 25ml fresh lemon juice
- 15ml sugar syrup or 2 teaspoons of caster sugar
- 4-5 tangerine segments (alternatively use mandarin, satsuma, clementine or orange)
- 6 medium size mint leaves
- 1 large sprig of mint
- 50ml soda water
- Lemon wedge
- Crushed ice
What To Do:
- Gather the mint leaves and clap them between your hands, rip them in half and wipe them around the rim of a highball glass, push them to the bottom of the glass. Place the tangerine segments on top of the mint and squash them with a rolling pin until the juice has fully drained.
- Add the Bombay Sapphire, lemon juice, and sugar syrup and stir well with a long spoon. Add crushed ice to ¾ full point in the glass and stir well in an upward lifting motion ensuring that the mint is evenly distributed throughout the cocktail.
- Top up with soda water and stir for a final time.
- Garnish with the lemon wedge and a large clapped mint sprig next to a straw.
