Ingredients: - 2 oz Grey Goose vodka - 1/2 oz fresh lime juice - 1/2 oz simple syrup - 6-8 fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish - Sparkling water - Ice - A small sprig of rosemary for an aromatic garnish (optional) Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, gently muddle the mint leaves with the simple syrup and lime juice to release the mint's essential oils. Be careful not to over-muddle, as this can lead to bitterness. 2. Add Grey Goose vodka to the mixture. 3. Fill the mixing glass with ice and shake well until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty. 4. Double strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass to remove the mint leaves and any small ice shards. 5. Top off with a splash of sparkling water for a light effervescence. 6. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf and a small sprig of rosemary, if using, to enhance the drink's aromatic profile.
