MINT JULEP

This famous Kentucky Derby cocktail balances the sweetness of a Kentucky Bourbon with a refreshing mixture of mint and simple syrup.

- 1/4 Ounce of Simple Syrup
- Crushed Ice
- Mint to Garnish
Directions :
- In a copper or recommended Julep Cup muddle the mint leaves alongside the simple syrup
- Add Bourbon
- Fill the glass with crushed ice and stir till the glass is frosty
