Preparation
Step 1
Combine sugar and water and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 10 minutes until thick and clear. While hot, stir in 1 bunch of mint sprigs. Let cool. Then strain the syrup into a small container and discard the mint.
When ready to serve, pour two ounces (1/4 cup) bourbon and 2 oz syrup into each ice filled, frosted cup. Add a sprig of mint.
Some may find this a bit sweet, in which case only add 1 ounce of syrup to 2 ounces of bourbon and that way everyone can be happy! dont forget the sprig of mint!
