Lime juice: 1.5 oz (45ml)
Simple syrup: 1 oz (30ml)
Soda water: 4 oz (120ml)
Fresh mint leaves: 8-10 leaves
Lime wedge: 1 (for garnish)
Crushed ice: as needed
1. Prepare tools and materials (0:00–0:30)
- Grab the Skycorps Boston Shaker Set (26oz/16oz tins), Mojito Muddler, Ice Tong, and Hawthorne Strainer. The muddler’s diamond-cut ridges crush mint gently for optimal flavor.
2. Pressed mint leaves and lime (0:30–1:30)
- Add mint leaves and lime juice to the 16oz shaker tin. Muddle gently for 10 seconds with the Skycorps muddler to release oils without shredding the leaves.
3. Mix syrup and ice (1:30–2:30)
- Pour in simple syrup and crushed ice. Seal with the 26oz tin and shake vigorously for 15 seconds—the shaker’s anti-roll base and weighted core ensure smooth mixing.
4. Filtering and cupping (2:30–3:30)
- Fill a highball glass with crushed ice using the Skycorps Ice Tong. Strain the mixture through the Hawthorne Strainer into the glass to trap pulp while letting every drop through.
5. Soda infusion and decoration (3:30–4:00)
- Slowly top with soda water. Stir gently with the Skycorps mixing spoon and garnish with a lime wedge.
