Zubereitung von Mint Julep The Real Thing
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Boil for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely (about 15 minutes).
- Gently bruise 6 fresh mint leaves to release their oils. (Don't over-bruise; you want to release the oils, not pulverize the leaves.)
- Place the bruised mint leaves in a glass pitcher or jar.
- Pour the cooled simple syrup over the mint leaves. Seal tightly and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to infuse the mint flavor.
- When ready to serve, strain the mint syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the leaves.
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
- Add 2 ounces of bourbon, 1 ounce of the strained mint syrup, and a few more fresh mint leaves to the shaker.
- Secure the lid and shake vigorously until well-chilled.
- Fill a chilled julep cup or small glass with crushed ice.
- Pour the julep mixture over the ice.
- Garnish with a fresh mint sprig.
- Serve immediately with a short straw.
