How to Make Lemon And Lime Tango Cocktail
- Make the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely. Once cool, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until chilled.
- While the syrup chills, muddle 10-12 fresh mint leaves in the bottom of a shaker.
- Add 2 oz (60ml) fresh lemon juice, 2 oz (60ml) gin, 1 oz (30ml) chilled simple syrup, and a few strips of lemon zest to the shaker.
- Fill the shaker with ice.
- Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
- Double strain the cocktail into two chilled coupe glasses or rocks glasses filled with ice.
- Garnish each glass with a lemon twist and a sprig of mint.
