This is the official cocktail of the Kentucky Derby!

Ingredients:
2 oz Bourbon
6 sprigs of fresh mint
2 tsp super fine sugar

Directions:
Place sprigs of mint in glass with the sugar and muddle gently. Fill half way with crushed ice, then add the bourbon. Don’t stir. Fill the glass the rest of the way with crushed ice. Stick it in the freezer until the glass frosts—this should take roughly five minutes.

Garnish with more mint sprigs and a straw.

Traditionally, a silver julep cup is used. But a Collins or Highball glass can work in a pinch.
