Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 oz bourbon
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup

  • Crushed ice
  • Mint sprig (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a julep cup or glass, gently muddle the mint leaves with simple syrup.
  2. Fill the cup halfway with crushed ice, then pour in the bourbon.
  3. Stir well to chill the mixture.
  4. Top with more crushed ice, forming a dome over the glass.
  5. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and enjoy immediately.

Notes

For an authentic touch, use a silver julep cup and gently clap the mint sprig before garnishing to release its aroma.
