Marseille Midnight

AI-generatedMediumCoupe

An anise-kissed, minty cognac sip that drifts between the south of France and a smoky jazz club.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz cognac
  • 1/4 oz pastis
  • 3/4 oz lime juice
  • 1/4 oz simple syrup
  • 8 leaves fresh mint leaves

Method

  1. 11. Lightly clap the mint leaves between your palms to wake up the oils, then drop them into the shaker.
  2. 22. Add the lime juice and simple syrup and muddle the mint gently — just 3 or 4 light presses.
  3. 33. Pour in the cognac and pastis.
  4. 44. Pack the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 12 seconds.
  5. 55. Double-strain into a chilled coupe and serve immediately.

PRO TIP

Chill the pastis measure in the freezer for a few minutes beforehand — it thickens slightly and integrates more smoothly into the shake.

Garnish — small mint sprig spanked against the rim
