Method

How to make Buster Sword

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill a polished julep cup, cut exactly three lemon eighths, and select one compact mint bouquet.

  2. 02

    Place the three lemon pieces in a shaker and muddle firmly enough to release their juice and peel oils without pulverizing the pith.

  3. 03

    Measure the rye whiskey, peach liqueur, shiso liqueur, simple syrup, and Peychaud's bitters into the shaker.

  4. 04

    Add ice and shake briefly for about 6 seconds so the muddled citrus and spirits are chilled but not over-diluted.

  5. 05

    Dump the full shaker contents into the chilled cup and pack the cup neatly with fresh crushed ice.

  6. 06

    Set exactly one compact mint bouquet into the ice and serve without any additional garnish.
