Mint Julep

Mint Julep

Ingredients:

• ½ – 1 oz Simple Syrup or Sugar Free Simple Syrup (or to taste)
• 8 fresh mint leaves
• Crushed ice
• 2 oz bourbon

Instructions:

1. In a 12 oz glass or julep cup, gently muddle mint leaves and simple syrup. Try not to mash the leaves into pieces, but bruise them to release oils.
2. Fill the glass ⅔ of the way full with crushed ice. Pour in bourbon. Stir until the glass is frosty.
3. Pile on more ice, and garnish with more fresh mint. Sip slowly with a short straw.
