Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Use a light-bodied blended Scotch instead of a heavily peated one, as dominant smoky flavours will clash with mint and citrus.
Preparation Tip 2
Gently muddle the mint leaves—just enough to release oils, since over-muddling will result in bitterness and overwhelm the Scotch.
