Mint julep

The preparation of a good julep requires a lot of time, so the good hosts prepare a good amount of these before the arrival of the visitors, leaving them stored in the refrigerator.

A mug (!) Of Bourbon;
A large sprig of fresh peppermint;
One teaspoon of sugar;
Two tablespoons of water;
A teaspoon of Barbados rum;
Crushed ice;

Separate about fifteen peppermint leaves for flavor and put them in a beer mug or a glass.
Add sugar and water and stir with a spoon until the mint leaves are completely broken and the sugar dissolves. Remove the remains of mint.
Now fill the mug with crushed ice and pour Bourbon down to about two fingers from the edges of the mug.
Stir the mixture well and pour a teaspoon of rum on top.
Decorate with peppermint sprigs so that your guest is forced to touch them with his nose each time he takes the glass to his mouth.
