How to Make

Gently muddle the simple syrup (or superfine sugar and water) and mint leaves in the bottom of the tumbler. Add crushed ice to the top of the glass. You can use either the crushed ice from your refrigerator, or crush it yourself by muddling it in a separate – and sturdy – glass or cocktail shaker. Then add the bourbon. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Top with additional crushed ice if necessary. Garnish with remaining sprig of mint. Serve with a straw.
