Method
- combine with mint Add the Cognac, Royal Combier, lemon juice, demerara syrup and mint leaves to a shaker.
- 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.
- pour into a vessel Strain into one large shared vessel and pack it almost to the top with crushed ice.
- dash and mound Dash Angostura liberally over the ice, then mound more crushed ice on top.
- garnish A tall mint bouquet — this drink is as much aroma as flavour. Two straws.
