Verdant Boulevard

Description: A sophisticated bourbon cocktail that seamlessly blends the warm, caramel notes of bourbon with a refreshing burst of garden-fresh mint. Subtle undertones of green tea and a hint of lime elevate this drink, making it as invigorating as a stroll down a verdant boulevard at dusk. Balanced, aromatic, and dangerously sippable. Ingredients: - 2 oz high-quality bourbon - 0.5 oz green tea syrup* - 0.5 oz fresh lime juice - 4-5 fresh mint leaves - 2 dashes orange bitters - Splash of chilled club soda - Garnish: mint sprig and lime wheel Glass: Rocks glass Preparation: Gently slap mint leaves and add to the bottom of a shaker. Add bourbon, green tea syrup, lime juice, and bitters. Fill shaker with ice and shake briskly for 10 seconds. Double strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Top with a splash of chilled club soda. Garnish with a mint sprig and lime wheel. *Green Tea Syrup: Steep 2 green tea bags in 1 cup hot water for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags. While tea is still hot, stir in 1 cup sugar until dissolved. Let cool before using.
