Mint Julep

Strip the leaves off 4 of the mint sprigs; discard the stems. Roughly chop the leaves and divide in half.

Place one half of the chopped mint leaves in the bottom of a chilled 12 ounce glass or mug. Add the sugar; thoroughly mix and bruised the mint-sugar mixture with a bar muddler or the blunt end of a wooden spoon.

Fill the glass halfway with ice. Place the remaining chopped mint on top and fill the glass to the top with the remaining ice. Pour in the bourbon, stir and garnish with remaining 2 mint sprigs.
