First put 2 or 3 sprigs of fresh mint in the shaker and bruise them lightly against the side of the shaker by stirring with a silver spoon. Pour into the shaker 3 glasses of Whisky and let it stand for some minutes. Add 3 glasses of sweetened Lemon Juice and some ice. Shake very carefully and for longer than usual. Serve with a mint leaf standing in each glass.
