Method

1

In a sturdy glass or silver julep cup, gently muddle the mint leaves, sugar, and water together. Be careful not to over-muddle, as this can make the mint bitter.

2

Add the bourbon to the glass.

3

Fill the glass completely with crushed ice.

4

Stir well until the glass is frosted on the outside.

5

Garnish with a fresh mint sprig. You can lightly slap the mint sprig against your hand to release its aroma before placing it in the drink.

6

Serve immediately and enjoy!
