Derby
A sophisticated IBA Official cocktail that marries the botanical crispness of gin with the subtle, fruity aromatic of peach bitters and the cooling essence of fresh mint. Often overshadowed by the Mint Julep, this classic offers a refined, stirred experience perfect for gin enthusiasts.
Ingredients
- 6 CL Gin
- 2 DASH Peach Bitters
- 2 ML Fresh Mint
- 1 ML Fresh Mint (for garnish)
How to Make It
- Prepare a mixing glass by filling it with fresh ice cubes.
- Add the gin, peach bitters, and the two fresh mint leaves to the mixing glass.
- Stir the mixture gently but thoroughly to chill and dilute the drink, allowing the mint oils to subtly release without muddling.
- Strain the cocktail into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish by placing a fresh sprig of mint directly into the drink.
