Instructions
- Place the mint leaves in the bottom of a glass and top with the sugar. Muddle together until the leaves begin to break down.
- Add a splash of mineral water, fill the glass 3/4 full with crushed ice, and add the bourbon.
- Top with another splash of seltzer, stir, and garnish with a sprig of mint.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Either bourbon or rye makes for a fantastic julep, so choose according to your preferences. I suggest reaching for the best one in your price range, especially since this is such a simple cocktail recipe.
- Make it a mocktail by replacing the bourbon in this mint julep recipe with either lemonade or more sparkling mineral water.
