Ingredients

• Whisky, 1/2 gUl
• Sugar, 1 teaspoon
• French brandy, a dash
• Cracked ice. Mint.

Method

1. 1

   Fill a tall thin glass with finely cracked ice, and leave it for a few moments to become frosted on the outside.

2. 2

   In another glass, put the whisky, crush slightly the mint sprigs, add the sugar, and stir the mixture.

3. 3

   No water must be used, as the melting ice will give all desired.

   Pour this mixture into the tall glass, add a dash of French brandy, if at hand, trim the glass with a little sheaf of mint on one side, and put in a strawberry or a cherry to give it color.
