1. 01

   Pre-chill one clear V-shaped martini glass and reserve exactly one small pristine mint leaf for the rim.

2. 02

   Place seven fresh mint leaves in a shaker, then measure in the vodka, blanc vermouth, rich syrup, and fresh lime juice.

3. 03

   Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid cold ice and seal it securely.

4. 04

   Shake hard for 10–12 seconds until the mixture is very cold and the mint is aromatically expressed.

5. 05

   Double fine-strain into the chilled martini glass so no ice chips or torn mint fragments remain.

6. 06

   Clip the single reserved mint leaf lightly at the rim and serve without lime or another garnish.
