Madison Park Smash

Method

1. combine with mint Add the Cognac, Royal Combier, lemon juice, demerara syrup and mint leaves to a shaker.
2. 5 swhip-shake Shake with two or three cubes only, until they have all but disappeared — enough to chill and bruise the mint without watering the drink down.
3. pour into a vessel Strain into one large shared vessel and pack it almost to the top with crushed ice.
4. dash and mound Dash Angostura liberally over the ice, then mound more crushed ice on top.
5. garnish A tall mint bouquet — this drink is as much aroma as flavour. Two straws.
