Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

    In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.

    Add the Other Ingredients

    Pour in the bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup into the shaker with the muddled mint.

  3. 3

    Shake it Up

    Fill the shaker with ice cubes and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill the mixture and combine the flavors.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice cubes. Top with club soda for some fizz.

  5. 5

    Garnish
