Just One Plant: South Facing Light Cocktail

Harness the power of mint with this refreshing libation.

When it comes to growing mint, this simple cocktail is a refreshing way to imbibe in the fruits of your labor. Simply replace recipes that call for simple syrup with your mint honey syrup for a bright substitution. Honey is a great way of introducing sweetness into your drinks without using white sugar, as well as a way of supporting your local beekeepers.


The Ingredients


2oz tequila (or 0.75oz alcohol-free substitute, such as Seedlip)

.75oz fresh lime juice

Honey mint syrup

Shaker tin or mason Jar with a sealable lid

Stemmed, chilled cocktail glass

Measuring device

Strainer


The Process

Shake all ingredients with ice until well chilled.

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Garnish with an expressed mint leaf.*

*To release oils for a pleasant aromatic, simply place a mint leaf in the palm of your hand, and give it a light smack
