Why it works
Mint and lime open up the liqueur; its cinnamon and vanilla come through at the end.
Tip
Press the mint, do not crush it: torn leaves turn bitter. For a less sweet drink, leave out the sugar.
To serve
A tall glass full of crushed ice, with the mint peeking over the top.
Meet the liqueur
