2 jiggers Kentucky 100 Proof Sour Mash Bourbon
1 jigger minted simple syrup (below)
cutting of fresh mint, rinsed
Fill sterling silver julep cup or old-fashioned glass with crushed ice. Pour bourbon over ice and then syrup. Belabour somewhat with a swizzle stick until the glass begins to frost. Slip a sprig of mint and a straw into the glass and serve.
Drink with caution. I've tried it once - with drastic results. And believe me, I can hold a lot of liquor.
