Grand Mojito

Select and pre-chill a highball glass.

Prepare a lime wedge for garnish.

Pour the Grand Marnier or other cognac orange liqueur and freshly squeezed lime juice into the glass.

Add mint leaves, then half fill the glass with crushed ice.

Churn the mixture with a bar spoon, incorporating the mint leaves.

Top up with more crushed ice, churn again to mix thoroughly.

Add additional ice to fill the glass and give a final brief churn.

Garnish with the prepared lime wedge.

Serve with a straw.
