This mixed drink melds the namesake spirit with muddled lemon, sprigs of fresh mint, and simple syrup. Shaken or stirred, and then served over ice, the cocktail's equal part refreshing and striking.

We also love an effortlessly fancy French 75, rosemary gin Fizz, and Prosecco mint julep. Each of those is a far-cry from the "Hand Grenade" cocktails ... Add a touch more lemon juice.
