Yield Makes 6 drinks

Number Of Ingredients 3

¾ cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, rinsed and spun dry, plus fresh mint sprigs for garnish
¼ cup bourbon
750-ml. bottle Champagne, chilled

Steps:

  • In a small bowl combine mint leaves and bourbon, crushing the mint slightly to extract the flavor, and chill the mixture, covered, for at least 6 hours or overnight. (The flavor improves the longer the mixture is chilled.)
  • Strain the bourbon mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on the mint leaves, and discard the leaves. Spoon 2 teaspoons of the bourbon into each of 6 Champagne flutes, divide the Champagne among the flutes, and garnish the drinks with mint sprigs.
