Mint Julep

Teamwork makes the dream work!

Special guest and co-founder of WBC, James Innes, paddles in this week to make us a cocktail he has definitely made 100 times before. Our Mint Julep is the perfect cocktail to sip outside with friends after a long day on the river, and its almost as satisfying as James' ice crushing method.

​Ingredients

• 6-7 mint leaves

• 2 sugar cubes, or 1/2 ounce simple syrup
• 2 1/2 ounces bourbon whiskey
• 3 dashes Angostura bitters
• Mint sprig, for garnish

Method

1. In a Julep cup or rocks glass, lightly muddle the mint leaves in the simple syrup.
2. Add the bourbon then pack the glass tightly with crushed ice.
3. Stir until the cup is frosted on the outside.
4. Top with more crushed ice to form an ice dome, and garnish with a mint sprig and a few drops of bitters (optional).
5. Dive in!
