Ingredients

Preparation Steps

  1. Step 1: Place the mint leaves in a glass (traditionally a silver julep cup).
  2. Step 2: Add the simple syrup and gently muddle the mint to release its oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves.
  3. Step 3: Fill the glass with crushed ice.

  5. Step 5: Top with more crushed ice to mound it slightly above the rim.
