184. Iris Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1.5 oz Captive Spirits Big Gin
  0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
  3 sprigs of mint
  1 tsp powdered sugar.

Shake with ice 20 seconds, double strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This minty, greenish Gin Sour is included in JM1916 from Straub with a few adjustments. The 2:1 ratio is altered to 3:2, the barpsoon is changed into a teaspoon, and the three sprigs of mint are ordered before the shake (hence my inclusion in the drink, which also helps distinguish it from a typical gin sour with mint bouquet).
