It's Derby Day, and in honor we're going to make a Mint Julep -- the
official drink of The Kentucky Derby. However, I do use Oregon bourbon. The
horror. So, get our your hammer and start crushing some ice.
Don't skip the garnish as it really adds to the mint character of the drink.
8 leaves of fresh mint
1 tsp. sugar
3 oz. bourbon (Kentucky, if you're a purist)
In a well chilled silver beaker or glass, drop the mint leaves and the
sugar. Muddle briefly. Pack the beaker half-full with ice. Add the bourbon
and stir. Top up with ice, mounding slightly. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

episode.
