Mint Julep


Mint - lots

Crushed ice

1/2 oz mint infused simple syrup (add mint leaves to simple syrup as it cools)

2 1/2 oz bourbon

2 dashes Angostura bitters

Add 10 mint leaves to the bottom of a glass. Add simple syrup and muddle gently.  Add 1/2 glass of crushed ice and pour in bourbon and bitters. Mix gently and top with more crushed ice until mounded. Garnish with generous sprig of "clapped" mint.
