Mint Julep
- SERVINGS: makes 1 drink
When New Orleans bartender Chris McMillian mixes mint juleps at Bar UnCommon, he recites an ode, written in the 1890s by a Kentucky newspaperman, that calls the cocktail "the zenith of man's pleasure…the very dream of drinks."
Glassware Guide 
- 8 mint leaves, plus mint sprigs for garnish
- 1/2 ounce Simple Syrup
- 2 ounces bourbon, preferably overproof
- Crushed ice
- In a chilled julep cup or fizz glass, muddle the mint leaves and Simple Syrup. Add the bourbon and crushed ice. Set a swizzle stick or bar spoon in the cup and spin between your hands to mix. Top with additional crushed ice and garnish with the mint sprigs.
