Ingredients
1
cup sugar
1
cup water
1
bunch fresh mint, torn into pieces
1 1/2
oz Kentucky Whisky
1
oz mint syrup
Fresh mint for garnish
8
oz glass or silver cup filled with crushed ice
Preparation
To make the mint simple syrup, add the water and the sugar to a small saucepan and boil for 1 to 2 minutes stirring until sugar is dissolved. Muddle mint slightly to release natural oils, stir it into the syrup mixture. Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.
Fill an 8-oz glass with crushed ice. Pour in the whisky and give it a good stir. Then top with the mint syrup and a few sprigs of fresh mint.
Enjoy slowly (and responsibly).
