It's Kentucky Derby time. And that means Mint Julep time. Everyone seems to have a favorite way to prepare this classic American cocktail. Here's one of our favorites, courtesy of Imbibe Magazine.
Classic Mint Julep
6–7 fresh mint leaves
1 Tbsp. simple syrup
2 oz. bourbon
Crushed ice
Tools: barspoon
Glass: silver julep cup (or highball)
Garnish: mint sprig
Combine mint leaves, syrup and bourbon in a glass. Using a bar spoon, crush the mint to release its essence into the liquid. Fill the glass with ice. Gently press the spoon into the ice, shaking it to incorporate the bourbon-syrup mixture. Garnish.
Cheers!
