Pro Tip

Before you drop the mint into the cocktail clap the mint between your hands. It brings out the scent of the mint and adds great complexity to the cocktail.

If you’ve sat at our bar, you have seen our bartenders do this and probably thought, we were all crazy; but i promise its magic.

Drink up Babes!!
