Mint Julep

Mint Julep is traditionally served in a silver cup but a glass
will do

RECIPE:
Chill cups or glasses until frosted. Make a simple syrup -
boiling water and adding sugar until the consistency of oil.
Crush or chop mint into syrup - to taste. Let cool

Take the frosted cup or glass. Add 1 teaspoon of mint syrup
to bottom of cup and half-fill with crushed ice. Add 1 jigger
of Kentucky Bourbon. Again add 2 teaspoons of mint syrup
and finish filling with Bourbon and ice - to taste. Top with a
sprig of fresh mint and enjoy the bouquet

Do not stir - let it stand a moment - when ready, sip it slowly
