The preparation

4 steps, about 4 minutes start to finish.

  1. 01

    Muddle 8 mint leaves in a highball glass.

  2. 02

    Add 1 oz gin, 1 oz lemon juice, and 1/2 oz simple syrup.

  3. 03

    Fill glass with crushed or pebble ice.

  4. 04

    Float 1 oz sloe gin on top.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Press the mint gently rather than shredding it, which releases the oils without the bitter, grassy taste that comes from bruising it too hard. Pour the sloe gin slowly over the crushed ice at the end so it settles down through for that pretty sunset color.”
