This is sometimes called the 'Gin Mojito' - as with most Gin cocktails we prefer a stir over a shake. We serve this in a 'cocktail' glass... but serve it in an old fashioned, or coupe (champagne saucer) if you wish.
We don't muddle this cocktail, we find that can give some off flavour from the mint. So we just slap the mint to release some of the oils, and keep going.
You'll also see many recipes that call for lime juice instead of lemon; the earliest references to this cocktail indicate lemon... do as you wish - you're drinking it.
