Ingredients

  • 5 large fresh mint leaves
  • ½ ounce of demerara syrup (1 part demerara sugar to 1 part water, boiled until the sugar dissolves)
  • 2½ ounces bourbon, preferably Woodford Reserve
  • Crushed ice
  • Sprig of mint, for garnish

Directions

  1. Gently tap the mint leaves against the palm of your hand to release their aroma. Rub the leaves along the inside of a julep cup and drop them inside. Add the demerara syrup, bourbon and some crushed ice; stir until the cup is well chilled. Top with more crushed ice--mounding it on top--and garnish with the sprig of mint.
