Ingredients
- 2 oz gin
- 3/4 oz fresh mandarin lime juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- Ice
Method
- Juice the mandarin limes last minute; their perfume fades quickly once cut.
- Measure the gin, lime juice and simple syrup into a shaker tin and fill it right up with ice.
- Shake sharply for about 12 seconds, until the mixture turns pale and cloudy with cold.
- Double-strain into a chilled Nick and Nora or coupe glass so no ice shards cloud the surface, and drink it straight up.
