Double Fill-Up

Chill a martini glass to prepare it for serving.

In a cocktail shaker, combine the rye, lemon juice, simple syrup, and pomegranate molasses.

Add the mint leaves to the shaker, gently bruising them to release their aromatic oils.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled.

Double strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass, ensuring a smooth and refined texture.

Garnish with an extra mint leaf to enhance the presentation and aroma.
