Use a straight rye whiskey with 90+ proof for proper balance and presence. Avoid blended or flavored ryes.
Mix the liquid ingredients up to 2 hours ahead; add fresh mint and ice just before serving to preserve aromatic oils.
White crème de menthe is clear with subtle mint flavor; green is darker and more intensely minty. Use white for this recipe to keep the drink balanced and visually clear.
Use fresh mint sprigs as garnish only—do not muddle, as excessive bruising will make the drink bitter.
This recipe makes one 2.5–3 oz cocktail (one serving).
