Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 mint sprigs
  • ½ ounce lavender simple syrup
  • 3 ounces bourbon
  • crushed ice
  • mint and lavender to garnish

Instructions

  • Add leaves from four mint sprigs and lavender simple syrup to a silver julep cup. Muddle gently to release the mint oils and combine the flavors.
  • Pour in bourbon then fill the cup with ice.
  • Stir until the cup is frosted (about 30 seconds).
  • Pack cup with more ice to form a dome then garnish with more mint and lavender.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly!

Notes

If you don't have these bar tools, don't worry! I shot glass is a great replacement for a jigger. You can use the blunt end of a kitchen spoon in place of a muddler, and a butter knife (plus a gentle hand) works almost as well as a bar spoon.
