Directions:
- Scrub the fruit and use a zester or sharp knife to scrape slivers of rind from each. Set the fruit aside.
- Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a quick boil.
- Add zest, turn heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Turn off heat, and allow to cool.
- Put mint leaves in a quart jar and use the back of a wooden spoon to bruise them slightly, releasing the fragrance.
- Pour syrup, including the zest, over the leaves, and steep for 1 hour.
- Juice the lime, orange and lemon, and strain into a pitcher. Pour the mint syrup through the strainer as well, using the back of the spoon to press the captured mint leaves and zest to extract remaining juices.
- For each person, fill an 8-ounce glass or julep cup with ice. Pour 3 ounces of bourbon into each, then top off with the mint syrup.
- Serve with short straws and a garnish of mint.
