Mint Julep

Ingredients

• 2 ounces Kentucky Bourbon
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 8 mint leaves (plus more for garnish)
• crushed ice

Steps

1. 1

   Muddle. Add the mint leaves and honey to a julep or highball glass, and gently muddle together to release the mint oils without tearing the leaves.

2. 2

   Fill the glass. Add the bourbon and stir together with the muddled mint leaves and honey. Fill the cup with crushed ice. Stir until the outside of the glass frosts. Then, mound more crushed ice on top into a dome shape.

3. 3

   Garnish. Garnish with additional mint leaves before serving.
