Ingredients

  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups Kentucky bourbon
  • Extra mint for garnish

Method

  1. Combine water, sugar and mint leaves in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow syrup to cool. Pour cooled syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove mint leaves. Set aside.
  2. When the time comes to prepare the Mint Juleps, fill 4 tin cups with crushed ice. Pour 4 oz. Bourbon and 1.5 oz (or more to taste) mint syrup into each cup. Gently stir, enjoy.
