Add Thai basil for a more aromatic version, swap vodka for gin (pairs beautifully with cucumber), or top with soda water for a longer, lower-ABV drink.
Bartender's Secret
Pro tip: Gently press the mint — don’t pulverize it. Shredded mint tastes bitter. A few gentle presses release the oils without the grassiness.
