How to Make a Monte Carlo Cocktail
- 1). Fill a cocktail glass halfway with ice cubes.
- 2). Add the dry gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice and crème de menthe to the cocktail shaker.
- 3). Cover the cocktail shaker and shake gently for 10 to 15 seconds. Don't shake too hard; you'll bruise the gin.
- 4). Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker into a chilled cocktail glass.
- 5). Garnish the cocktail with a twisted lemon peel and serve right away.
