This is the classic cocktail, traditionally served at the Kentucky Derby but is perfect for any derby or warm day. An easy recipe with just a few ingredients is the kind of go-to cocktail we like!
Yields 1 cocktail
Ingredients:
12 oz Bourbon
5-6 fresh mint leaves
1/2 oz simple syrup
Crushed ice
Splash club soda
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint
In the bottom of a serving glass, add mint leaves and simple syrup. With a muddler or handle of a wooden spoon, muddle together to extract the mint flavor.
Add crushed ice about 3/4 full, then pour in the bourbon and splash of club soda. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
Cheers!
