Ingredients
- 60 ml Bourbon
- 8 leaves Mint
- 15 ml Simple syrup
- 1 sprig Mint sprig - A whole bouquet, if your mint is generous (optional)
Quick version
- Press mint with syrup in the cup, pack with crushed ice, then pour the bourbon through.
Method
- Put the mint leaves and the syrup in the bottom of a julep cup and press them gently - you want them woken, not bruised.
- Half fill the cup with crushed ice and stir for 20 seconds, so the ice and the mint get to know each other.
- Fill the rest of the way with crushed ice and pour the bourbon slowly over the top.
- Stir once more, then mound more crushed ice on top and plant a bouquet of mint in it.
