RENEE'S DERBY MINT JULEP
With less than a month until the 2021 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, I pulled out my favorite recipe for the Derby Mint Julep. And...they're off! This summertime refresher stirs up in mere minutes. I use spearmint because that's what I have growing in pots on the deck but whatever mint you like or have on hand will work....

Steps:
- 1. Place the mint leaves in the bottom of a glass and top with simple syrup or sugar, I prefer the superfine sugar - it helps to break down the mint leaves but suit yourself.
- 2. Using a muddler, crush the leaves in the bottom of a glass until they begin to break down.
- 3. Add the bourbon to the glass and stir.
- 4. Fill with crushed ice, give another quick stir, and top with a splash of club soda.
- 5. Garnish with mint and serve immediately.
