Ingredients

  • 10 mint leaves
  • 1/2 inch thick lemon slice
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest Sugar with Cardamom
  • 2 ounces gin
  • 1 ounce Lemon Shrub with Cardamom and Mint
  • Soda water to top or to taste (I used Fever-Tree Club Soda)

Instructions

  1. Fill a tall highball glass with a handful of ice cubes.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint leaves, lemon slice, and sugar until the mint is very aromatic, the sugar is mostly dissolved, and the lemon has released its juices.
  3. Add the gin and shrub to the shaker, then top with ice.
  4. Shake the mixture well until the shaker becomes very cold and is sweating.
  5. Strain the cocktail into the prepared highball glass, then top with club soda and garnish with a lemon wedge or slice, mint leaves, and edible flowers if desired.
