Marionette
Marionette Instructions
Marionette is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for summer parties and gatherings. This cocktail combines the flavors of citrus and mint for a truly delightful drink.
To make a Marionette cocktail, start by muddling a few fresh mint leaves in a glass. This will release the aromatic oils in the mint and add a pleasant freshness to the drink. Next, add some freshly squeezed lime juice and a splash of simple syrup. Simple syrup is made by dissolving equal parts sugar and water, and it adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the tartness of the citrus.
Once you've added the mint, lime juice, and simple syrup, fill the glass with ice and top it off with some sparkling water. Give the cocktail a gentle stir to combine all the flavors, and garnish it with a sprig of mint and a slice of lime.
Marionette is a versatile cocktail that can be easily customized to suit your taste. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add a bit more simple syrup. If you like a stronger mint flavor, you can muddle extra mint leaves. It's all about finding the perfect balance of flavors for you.
So the next time you're hosting a summer gathering or simply want to enjoy a refreshing drink, give the Marionette cocktail a try. With its citrusy and minty goodness, it's sure to be a hit.
Best served in a Old-Fashioned Glass.
