Ahh, the mint julep, essentially a Derby drink, It is like the mojito of whiskeys. Like the old-fashioned, this drink requires muddling mint and simple syrup and features your favorite bourbon.
Place the mint leaves in the bottom of an old-fashioned glass and top with the sugar.
Muddle these together until the leaves begin to break down.
Add a splash of seltzer water, fill the glass 3/4 full with crushed ice, and add the bourbon.
Top with another splash of seltzer, stir, and garnish with a sprig of mint.
