Number Of Ingredients 7

16 Fresh Mint Leaves, plus 2 sprigs for garnish
8 Fresh Basil Leaves
1 ounce Honey Syrup
4 ounce Bourbon
1 Fresh Lemon Juice
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Middle the mint and basil leaves in two julep or highball glasses until they are lightly bruised and fragrant. Divide the honey syrup between the glasses and then fill the cups with crushed ice. Pour half the bourbon into each, top with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and then stir well to combine. Finish with more crushed ice to fill the cup and then garnish with a mint sprig.
  • Combine the honey and water in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Let cool and refrigerate. Will keep for up to 2 weeks in the fridge, covered.
