Mirage Garden

AI-generatedEasyHighball

Gin and pastis dance in an anise-scented haze lifted by bright mint and a whisper of ginger.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 oz gin
  • 1/4 oz pastis
  • 3/4 oz lemon juice
  • 1/4 oz agave syrup
  • 2 oz ginger ale
  • 6 leaves mint

Method

  1. 11. Lightly slap the mint leaves between your palms and drop them into a highball glass.
  2. 22. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
  3. 33. Combine gin, pastis, lemon juice, and agave syrup in a shaker with ice and shake for 10 seconds.
  4. 44. Strain over the ice and mint into the highball glass.
  5. 55. Top gently with cold ginger ale and stir once from the bottom to integrate.
  6. 66. Briefly press the mint with the bar spoon to release more aroma without bruising.

PRO TIP

Keep the pastis at 10 ml maximum — it should haunt the drink, not dominate it; the agave adds a rounder sweetness than simple syrup against the anise.

Garnish — fresh mint sprig
