Preparation
Step 1
To prepare the minty simple syrup, place the sugar, water, and mint leaves in a small saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves. Strain the simple syrup. Set the pan aside to cool.
Put the ice, bourbon, simple syrup, and lemon into a blender and pulse until smooth and slushy. Pour the drink into a goblet or high ball glass and garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
