- 4 sprigs of seasonal aromatic herb (like mint, rosemary, thyme, lavender or basil)
- 1 wedge citrus (lemon or lime)
- 2 oz white vermouth (I prefer Dolin Blanc)
Muddle half the herbs very very lightly with the citrus wedge in the bottom of a glass.
Fill the glass with crushed ice, top with the vermouth, and give a light stir to incorporate.
Top with more crushed ice and the remaining herbs. Serve with a straw.
