Serves 6-8 people

• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups water
• 16 oz Kentucky Bourbon, 2 per mint julep
• Crushed ice
• 10 sprigs fresh mint
• 8 mint julep glasses

Chef’s Notes:

Combine water and sugar in a pot and bring to a boil to make a simple syrup. Boil for 5 minutes. Cool and place in a covered container with 2 sprigs of fresh mint and refrigerate overnight. To make your mint julep, start by filling each mint julep glass with crushed ice. Add 1 tablespoon of the mint flavored simple syrup then 2 ounces of Kentucky Bourbon. Stir rapidly with a spoon to frost the outside of the glass. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

Sip and enjoy!
