Cocktail
Simple Syrup (if making)
Method
Simple Syrup (optional, makes ~3/4 cup)
- 1
Make simple syrup
Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat gently over medium-low, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Store in the refrigerator; use 1/2 oz for this cocktail.
Cocktail Preparation
- 2
Muddle mint and syrup
In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add 8 fresh mint leaves and 0.5 oz simple syrup. Gently slap or muddle the mint 4–6 times—press just enough to bruise the leaves and release oils without shredding them.
- 3
Add spirits and citrus
Add 2 oz bourbon, 0.5 oz peach liqueur, and 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice to the muddled mint and syrup.
- 4
Shake with ice
Fill the shaker with ice (about 4–6 large cubes), secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
- 5
Prepare glass
Fill a julep cup or a rocks glass (or Collins glass) to the brim with crushed ice.
- 6
Strain and build
Double-strain the cocktail over the crushed ice (use a fine mesh strainer in addition to the shaker strainer to keep mint fragments out). Gently mound more crushed ice on top if needed to form a dome.

Garnish and serve
Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a lemon wheel tucked into the ice. Clap the mint sprig once between your palms to release aroma before placing it in the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or short stirring spoon.
