Love a Mint Julep on a hot and balmy day ????..

Give or take - 8 mint leaves muddled in a Julep cup with 1/4oz of Simple syrup.

2oz of Bourbon added to the cup. I used EJ Small Batch but any good Kentucky Bourbon will do fine.

Top up the cup with crushed and chipped ice forming a small mound at the top.

Add a few generous dashes of Angostura over the top of the ice. I like a lot ????.

Add a “clapped” Mint leaf bouquet for garnish and a straw alongside for slow sipping.

Enjoy it at a relaxed pace. It only gets better as the ice melts.. Cheers!
