Southern Mint Cocktail
Ingredients
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 8 cups crushed ice, or as needed
  • 32 fluid ounces Kentucky bourbon
  • 8 sprigs fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
1
Acquire the necessary components for preparation.
2
Prepare the simple syrup in advance of when you intend to present: Combine water, sugar, and chopped mint in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
3
Stir occasionally as the sugar dissolves, typically within 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool down.
4
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to eliminate mint leaves.
5
Prepare the mint juleps by filling eight glasses with crushed ice; pour 4 ounces of bourbon and 1/4 cup mint syrup into each glass.
