Ingredients
- 4 large mint leaves
- ½ ounce simple syrup or more to taste
- 2 oz. bourbon
Instructions
- Add mint leaves and simple syrup to a lowball glass and muddle until the mint is fragrant and broken up a bit. If you don’t have a muddler, the back of a wooden spoon works as well.
- Add bourbon.
- Finally, fill the glass with crushed ice and stir to combine.
Tips & Notes
- We recommend Maker’s Mark or Basil Hayden's in mint juleps, but you could also use a Rye if you wanted a more earthy / less sweet cocktail.
- To make simple syrup, combine ½ cup of water and ½ cup of sugar in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil and cook until the sugar has dissolved. Allow it to cool and then keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to ten days.
