One of THE most UNDERRATED cocktails the Mint Julep takes a left turn and meets… Jules. Enough said.  
 
Mint Julep
Silver/PewterJulep cup (if you can)
Double Rocks (if you can’t)
Julep Straw (if you got the julep cup, you better get the julep straw)
Lewis bag
Wooden hammer (it’ll probably come with the lewis bag)
In your glass:

8 mint leaves (but be sure to CLAP and ROLL the mint in the palm of your hand first)

2 oz of bourbon (Woodford… sure, but damn I love me some 4 roses)

½ oz demerara simple syrup (a little more if you like it sweeter)

2 dash angostura bitters

Give it a stir

(Add ice to your Lewis bag and beat the ever lovin’ crap out of it)

Add ice to your cup, and stir. Be sure you are pulling the mint from the bottom of your cut to the top, push it back down, and pull it up to the top again. Give it one more stir so all the mint isn’t at the top.

Add more ice so it mounds a little over the top of your glass

Take the top of a mint sprig (or two) and give it a clap or smack it a few times and place in your glass. Be sure to place it so the mint is close to your nose when you drink, you want the smell and the taste all at once. If you’re feeling extra bougie, add a raspberry, blackberry, even a few blueberries next to your mint sprigs.
