- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (265ml) water
- 2 high-quality mint tea bags
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon (215g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (235ml) vodka
- 1 cup (235ml) Dolin blanc vermouth
- 1 cup (235ml) Amaro Montenegro
- 1 1/4 cups (295ml) chilled Mint Tea Syrup

- 8 lime wheels, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice (optional)

- In a small saucepan, bring water to a bare simmer over medium-high heat. As soon as you spot the first bubble, add tea bags, remove from heat, and let steep for 7 minutes. Discard tea bags. Add sugar to saucepan, return to medium-high heat, and stir constantly until completely dissolved. Remove from heat. Let cool, then transfer to a resealable container and refrigerate until chilled, or for up to 1 week.
- Up to 1 week before serving, pour vodka, vermouth, Amaro Montenegro, and chilled mint tea syrup into a 2-quart pitcher and stir to mix. Seal well, covering with plastic wrap if needed, and refrigerate.
- Up to 2 hours before serving, prepare lime juice and stir into pitcher mix. Reseal and return to refrigerator if not serving immediately.
- To serve, stir mixture well, then add chilled club soda and lime wheels. Fill pitcher with ice and stir gently until exterior of pitcher is cool. Taste a bit over ice and add up to 2 tablespoons lime juice, if desired, to adjust taste. Pour cocktail into ice-filled punch cups or rocks glasses and garnish each glass with a mint sprig.
