DIRECTIONS

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.
