Notes

Pro Tips
  • To elevate the presentation, lightly slap the mint leaves before garnishing to release their aromatic oils.
  • If you prefer a slightly sweeter cocktail, add a touch more grenadine or use a pear liqueur with a stronger fruit-forward profile.
  • Serve in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing experience.
