Mint julep

First, prepare the simple syrup. To make it, place equal amounts of water and sugar in a pan or small saucepan. Stir the mixture over medium heat until it thickens. Then let it cool and it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Fill a glass about halfway with crushed ice. Add 4 cl of simple syrup, mint, and 6 cl of bourbon. Then stir and garnish with mint.

Serve with a straw and a stirrer.
