Mint Julep



Ingredients

2oz            Whiskey 
(Ideally bourbon, I used Gentleman Jack)
1oz            Monin Mojito Syrup  
1/2oz         Simple syrup (if you like it sweet)
1                mint twig for garnish




Glass type: Julep Cup / Rocks glass.



My Rating: 3/5



Method:

1. Pour the mojito syrup into the Glass.
2. Add simple syrup and mix. 
(do this ONLY if you like it sweet, Mojito mix itself is pretty sweet)
3. Fill a glass with ice. 
4. Pour the whiskey over ice and stir lightly.
5. Garnish with the mint twig.
6. Serve with a small straw.

Tip: Keep the mint twig in your palm and slap it 1-2 times this will release the aroma. The aroma will add to the over all experience.
