- Mint leaves
- 2 ounces citrus vodka
- 1 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 ounce Citronge, or Cointreau
- Lemon twist
- 2 borage flowers
In a cocktail shaker, rip up the mint leaves and add 1 ounce of the vodka. Muddle to get the mint to express some of its oils. Don’t muddle like you’re trying to turn the mint into a liquid; overly bruising the leaves will make them express chlorophyll and not just mint oil. That’s not a great taste, so stop when you smell mint. Add the rest of the vodka, the lemon juice and the orange-flavored liqueur. Add ice and shake vigorously. Pour into a chilled up cocktail glass. Add the lemon twist and float the 2 borage flowers.
