Leo Special

Bright, tangy citrus from lime and Cointreau sits on a botanical gin backbone, while a whisper of Pernod's anise and a dash of green crème de menthe add a cool, herbaceous-liqueur twist and a faint pale-green tint. It drinks lighter than its spirit content suggests thanks to the citrus, but the Pernod and mint give it a distinctive, slightly savory complexity worth trying. Ideal if you like gin cocktails with an unexpected licorice-mint note.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Gin
  • 1 oz Cointreau® Orange Liqueur
  • 0.75 oz Lime Juice
  • 1 dash Pernod®
  • 1 dash Crème de Menthe Verte Liqueur

Instructions

  2. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until well-chilled.
  3. Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.
  4. Serve immediately to enjoy.
