   Put the mint and simple syrup in a julep cup or tall glass.

   Pour in the bourbon and stir.

4. 4

   Pack the cup with crushed ice and stir until the outside of the cup frosts over, about 20 seconds.

5. 5

   Mound more crushed ice on top and tuck in the sprig.

   Serve with a short straw so the mint sits under your nose.
