Mint Juleps! for a crowd
- one cup mint simple syrup per 64 fluid ounces of bourbon*
- Lots of crushed ice
Instructions
- Fill a cup with crushed ice. Add 2 ounces of bourbon and 1 tablespoon of simple syrup. Garnish with a mint sprig.
Notes
*A handle is 60 fluid ounces, so you can pour off about a cup of bourbon and reserve for cooking etc. and pour a light cup of simple syrup straight into the bottle. Shake gently and you can now just pour straight from the bottle into the cups of crushed ice. You're going to need a LOT of mint!
