- ¾ oz fresh lime juice

Frequently Asked Questions
What cocktails work best with Fresh Mint Syrup?
This syrup excels in classic mint-forward cocktails like mojitos, mint juleps, and southsides. It also adds refreshing complexity to whiskey sours, gin fizzes, margaritas, and even espresso martinis. The triple-mint blend provides depth that simple mint syrup cannot match.
How much syrup should I use per cocktail?
Start with ¾ to 1 oz per standard cocktail (typically 2-3 oz of base spirit). Adjust to taste—the concentrated flavor means a little goes a long way. For lighter drinks like spritzes or Collins-style cocktails, ½ oz may be sufficient.
Can I substitute this for simple syrup in any cocktail?
Yes, but keep in mind it will add a pronounced mint character. It works beautifully in drinks that benefit from herbal brightness—think gin-based cocktails, tequila drinks, or bourbon cocktails. For spirit-forward drinks like Old Fashioneds or Manhattans, use sparingly or stick with traditional simple syrup.
Does it need to be refrigerated after opening?
Yes, refrigerate after opening and use within 4-6 weeks for optimal freshness and flavor. The natural ingredients maintain their vibrant character when properly stored.
What's the difference between this and fresh mint?
Fresh Mint Syrup provides consistent flavor intensity and sweetness without the variability of fresh herbs. It eliminates muddling time while delivering a more complex, layered mint profile from three varieties. Use it alongside fresh mint for garnish to create both visual appeal and aromatic enhancement.
Can I use this in hot drinks?
Absolutely. Add ½ to 1 oz to hot chocolate, coffee, or tea for a refreshing twist. It's particularly excellent in peppermint mochas or mint-infused hot toddies during cooler months.
