Ingredients

I enjoy the Spring Clover Cooler for its bright and refreshing taste, thanks to fresh herbs and citrus.

2 oz gin
1 oz fresh lime juice
0.75 oz simple syrup
A handful of fresh mint leaves
Lime wedge for garnish
Ice cubes

All these ingredients come together to create a zesty cocktail with a lovely herbal twist.

Instructions

Making this drink is quite simple and enjoyable.

Start by adding mint leaves to the shaker.

Muddle them gently to release their aroma.
Add gin, lime juice, and simple syrup.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake thoroughly for about 15 seconds.

Then, strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice.
Garnish with a lime wedge for visual appeal and a hint of extra citrus.

Notes

The Spring Clover Cooler is adaptable. If I find myself missing an ingredient, I can substitute vodka for gin or basil for mint. Adjusting the sweetness with more or less simple syrup is easy.

This cocktail highlights fresh ingredients, and experimenting with the measurements can lead to a perfect personal touch.

Finally, a smooth finish rounds out the experience. The gentle touch of gin or vodka adds a slight warmth.
