Mint Julep

From the book American Regional Cookery by Sheila Hibben

Serves

Introduction

This classic (and potent) summertime cocktail comes from Kentucky. Increase the ingredient amounts to make more than one cocktail.

Ingredients

	~	Crushed ice
	1	tsp. simple syrup
	1 to 1½	jiggers fine old bourbon whiskey
	7 to 8	mint sprigs

Steps

Into a well-chilled silver goblet or heavy glass goblet, put crushed ice to within 1 inch of the top. Add the simple syrup (equal parts sugar and hot water, stirred till the sugar is dissolved) and the whiskey; stir round and round until a heavy frost is formed on the goblet. Put in the mint sprigs and serve.
