Tips
- Freshness is Key: Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest, most vibrant flavor. Bottled juice simply can't compare!
- Fennel Syrup Secret: If you can't find pre-made fennel syrup, make your own by simmering fennel seeds in simple syrup for an intense, aromatic touch.
- Chill Factor: Use plenty of ice when shaking to ensure your cocktail is perfectly cold and slightly diluted for a smoother taste.
- Mint Matters: Gently slap the mint leaves between your hands before garnishing to release their essential oils and maximize the aromatic experience.
- Glassware Tip: Serve in a tall, chilled glass to keep your cocktail cool and maintain its effervescence.
- Garnish Like a Pro: Don't just drop the mint leaves – artfully place them or create a small mint sprig bouquet for an Instagram-worthy presentation.
- Vodka Selection: Choose a high-quality, smooth vodka as the base to ensure the most refined flavor profile.
