Mint Julep

Seeing as May is the official month of the Kentucky Derby, try this classic Mint Julep cocktail.

  • 5-6 Mint leaves
  • 2 Sugar cubes or 2 oz of simple syrup
  • 2.5oz your favourite Bourbon
  • Crushed ice (cubes just aren’t the same)
  1. Put the mint leaves and sugar into a double old fashioned glass and muddle until the sugar has broken down and the oil from the mint leaves release.
  2. Add your Bourbon and crushed ice mixing the ingredients.
  3. Garnish with a mint sprig.
