Mint Julep

Serves 4
**The debate continues over whether or not to crush the mint leaves—we decided we like them crushed.

2 tablespoons superfine sugar

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

24 mint leaves, plus 4 sprigs for garnish

2 cups finely crushed ice

1 cup bourbon


1. Combine sugar, lemon juice, and mint leaves in a pitcher. Crush well with a wooden spoon. Add ice and bourbon, and mix well. Pour into silver tumblers, garnish with mint sprigs, and serve.
