INGREDIENTS
•
The mint julep is considered a cliché Old South drink by some. But a good one is about as refreshing a cocktail as ever slaked a midsummer night's thirst. It's best served in the classic metal cups, which get frosty on the outside if you made it rig
•
About 20 fresh mint leaves, plus more sprigs for garnish
•
8 oz. simple syrup (see recipe)
•
8 oz. Bourbon whiskey
•
Crushed ice
