Ceci n'est pas un Mojito

This is not a Mojito

The mojito was Hemingway's cocktail. It seems perfect to us to mark the start of the sunny days... or, the rest of the year, to remember our summer evenings by the fireplace.

30 ml JNPR n°2
8 mint leaves
Juice of half a lime (15 ml)
10 ml Sugar syrup
45ml Ginger Ale
Crushed ice (with a cloth)

Recipe sequence:

Pour the sugar syrup into the bottom of the glass. Add the lime, then the mint (the whole leaves without tearing them). Moisten the mint in the liquid, taking care not to damage it. Add JNPR n°2, crushed ice, ginger ale. Using a mixing spoon, gently stir everything before serving.
