Ingredients:

Serving

3 fresh mint leaves
1 tbsp mint simple syrup
crushed ice
1 1/2 to 2 tbsp (1 oz) bourbon
1 (4-inch) cocktail straw or coffee stirrer
1 fresh mint sprig
powdered sugar (optional)

Directions:

Place mint leaves and Mint Simple Syrup in a chilled julep cup. Gently press leaves against cup with back of spoon to release flavors. Pack cup tightly with crushed ice; pour bourbon over ice. Insert straw, place mint sprig directly next to straw, and serve immediately. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
Note: For testing purposes only, we used Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select Bourbon.
