Into collins glass put 1 tsp.
powdered sugar, five or six leaves fresh mint, and 2 1/2 oz.
Then fill glass with finely shaved ice, and stir until mint rises to top, being careful not to bruise leaves.
(Do not hold glass with hand while stirring.) Decorate with a slice of pineapple, orange, or lemon and a cherry.
Serve with straws.
Fresh mint is essential to the drink's character. Dried mint or mint syrup will not provide the same aromatic quality or fresh flavor.
Cognac or other quality brandy with balanced vanilla and oak notes works well. Avoid very young or very expensive brandies.
Yes, a chilled or frosted glass enhances the drinking experience and keeps the cocktail colder longer.
Gently press the mint leaves with a muddler to release oils without crushing them into small pieces, which can make the drink bitter.
It is best served immediately after preparation. The mint flavor degrades quickly once muddled.
