- Combine water, sugar and fresh chopped mint leaves in a small non stick saucepan on your stove.
- Initially, over medium heat
- Must continuously stir liquid for best results. Increase heat to high.
- Bring liquid to a boil over high heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Allow syrup to cool, which will take approximately 1 hour.
- Pour syrup through a strainer to remove mint leaves
*However, I do not strain my leaves as I do enjoy the added flavor *
Fill eight the serving glass with crushed ice as mint sprigs- Into each serving glass:
- pour 4 ounces of bourbon into each glass
- Then pour 1/4 cup mint syrup in each glass (According to the desired flavor, adjust liquid depending on each person’s sweet tooth)
- Top each drink with a mint leaves and a straw.
- Trim straws to just barely protrude from the top of the glass.
- Serve your Mint Juleps on your favorite platter
Enjoy in your preferred summer setting such as your deck or patio
