    In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils.

    Pour in the bourbon, lemon juice, and ice into the shaker. Seal the shaker and shake well for about 15 seconds.

  3. 3

    Mix and Serve

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Garnish with a lemon wedge and additional mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
