This classic cocktail can be
made with just 3 ingredients!
Ingredients:
ice
peppermint or spearmint pure cane syrup
Kentucky Bourbon
fresh mint springs (optional)
Method:
Fill a glass half full with ice.
Add 1 tablespoon of mint syrup.
Add 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) of bourbon. Stir.
Add additional ice to completely fill the glass.
If desired, garnish with a sprig or two of fresh mint. (This is a fragrant and attractive finishing.)
Allow the flavors to mellow for a few minutes and then serve. Makes one cocktail.
Notes:
While watching pre-race coverage of the Kentucky Derby, I saw a Master Distiller demonstrate how to make this super simple traditional cocktail. I had the ingredients on hand and decided to try making it myself. ~ The key to a mellow drink is lots of ice and letting it sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
