Hennessy Miami

Or, you could say this is a Hennessy mojito without the sparkling water.  But, I guess Hennessy Miami sounds better.  I like to finely slice the mint leaves.  This works in lieu of muddling.  This way if mint leaves sneak into my cocktail, they look far less abused.

Hennessy Miami

2 oz Hennessy Cognac
1/2 oz lime juice
6 mint leaves, finely sliced
1/4 – 1/2 oz simple syrup
lime slices or wedges, to garnish
mint sprig, to garnish

ice

Fill a shaker with ice and add the remaining ingredients.  Shake vigorously.

Then, strain into a rocks glass with ice.  Garnish away.

Cheers!
