This recipe is from Alton Brown and is the best Mint Julep I've had. It doesn't look like much, but it's very refreshing. The one thing I do is bash the mint and sugar in my mortar/pestle, instead of a glass. Ingredients:
10 mint leaves, plus a spring for garnish |
2 teaspoons superfine sugar |
seltzer water |
crushed ice |
2 1/2 ounces kentucky bourbon whiskey (gentleman jack) |
Directions:
1. Place the mint in the bottom of a mortar/pestle, and top with the sugar.
2. Muddle these together until the leaves start to break down and dissolve the sugar. Transfer to a cocktail glass.
3. Add a splash of seltzer water.
4. Fill the glass 3/4 with ice, and add the bourbon.
5. Top with more seltzer; stir and garnish with a sprig of mint.
