Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 40 fresh mint leaves plus extra sprigs for garnish
• 8 oz bourbon whiskey
• 4 cups crushed ice

Directions

1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar fully dissolves, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
2. Add the 40 mint leaves to the cooled syrup, gently pressing them with a spoon to release their oils, then let them steep for 30 minutes before straining out the leaves.
3. Fill four metal cups or glasses to the top with crushed ice.
4. Pour 2 oz of bourbon and about 2 tablespoons of the mint syrup over the ice in each cup.
5. Stir each drink gently for about 10 seconds until the outside of the cup becomes frosty.
6. Tuck a fresh mint sprig into each cup right next to the straw so the aroma hits your nose as you sip, then serve immediately.
