Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 720 ml Bourbon
- 96 leaves Mint
- 180 ml Simple syrup
- 12 sprigs Mint sprig - A whole bouquet, if your mint is generous (optional)
Batch (12 drinks) - about 900 ml of measured ingredients, before ice and dilution.
Timings and per-glass steps are written for one drink and are not scaled. A full jug takes longer to chill, so stir or shake until it is properly cold rather than by the clock, and pour over fresh ice one glass at a time.
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.
