Mint Juleps





















Mint Juleps

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
2 cups KENTUCKY bourbon
fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Combine water, sugar and mint leaves in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Cool for 1 hour, then strain the syrup to remove the mint leaves. Chill until ready to use.

Chill 4 cups or goblets. Fill the chilled cups with crushed ice and pour 4 ounces of bourbon and 1/4 cup of the mint syrup in each. Top each cup with a mint sprig and a straw. Sip SLOWLY and enjoy!
