A true southern tradition. So smooth and mellow. Wonderful for a hot summer's day, swinging slowly on a porch swing ; )
Ingredients:
2 sprigs fresh mint
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup ice, crushed
1 1/2 ounces bourbon
1 sprig fresh mint
Directions:
1. Place mint in blender; add water and sugar.
2. Blend until leaves disappear, add ice and bourbon; blend a few seconds.
3. Pour into frosted glass or julep cup which has been filled with finely chopped ice.
4. Stir and decorate with a sprig of mint.
5. Serves 1.
6. Note: Serve with a short straw that is no taller than the mint, so one enjoys the aroma as well as the taste.
