This is the official cocktail of the Kentucky Derby!

Mint Julep

2 oz Bourbon
6 Sprigs – Fresh Mint Leaves
2 tsp. super fine sugar

Put 6 sprigs of mint in glass with the sugar and muddle gently. Fill halfway with crushed ice, add the bourbon. Don’t stir. Fill rest of the way with crushed ice. Stick it in the freezer until the glass frosts. (5 min.)

Garnish with more mint sprigs and a straw.

Traditionally, a silver julep cup is used. But a Collins or Highball glass will work OK too.
