Mint juleps

Ingredients

Handful mint, crushed, bruised or chopped
A little sugar
Crushed ice
Bourbon
Mint sprigs to garnish

Method

1 Put a handful of mint – crushed, bruised or chopped with a little sugar – in a tumbler, and half fill it with crushed ice.

2 Add a few fingers of bourbon and top with crushed ice and a sprig of mint.
