Bourbon

Simple syrup

Place the mint leaves in the bottom of a short glass or julep cup, pour the simple syrup over it, and muddle very gently youre trying to bruise the leaves, rather than smash them into pieces. Pour the bourbon on top, stir it around, and top with lots of crushed ice and a handful of mint tucked into the side of the glass. You dont need a fancy machine for the crushed ice just wrap some ice cubes in a clean dishtowel and beat the stuffing out of it on your countertop or any hard, clean surface.
