Leftover simple syrup keeps refrigerated about one week and perfectly sweetens iced tea. Ingredients:
3 fresh mint leaves |
1 tablespoon mint simple syrup |
crushed ice |
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) bourbon |
1 (4-inch) cocktail straw or coffee stirrer |
1 fresh mint sprig |
powdered sugar (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place mint leaves and Mint Simple Syrup in a chilled julep cup. Gently press leaves against cup with back of spoon to release flavors. Pack cup tightly with crushed ice; pour bourbon over ice. Insert straw, place mint sprig directly next to straw, and serve immediately. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
2. Note: For testing purposes only, we used Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select Bourbon.
