How to make virginia mint julep cocktail recipe

makes 2

Ingredients:
glasses 2 highball glasses
equipment muddling stick
18 mint sprigs, plus extra to decorate
2 teaspoons sugar syrup
crushed ice
6 measures bourbon

Method:
Muddle half the mint and sugar syrup in the bottom of each glass (or, traditionally, iced silver mugs).

Fill the glasses with crushed ice. Pour the bourbon over the ice and stir gently. Pack in more crushed ice and stir until a frost forms on the outside of the glasses. Wrap each glass in a table napkin and serve decorated with a mint sprig.

For a Mint Julep, which dates from 1803, use 4 measures of bourbon instead of 6 and add 8 dashes of Angostura bitters to the muddled mixture, then pour into 2 highball glasses.
