Festive Mint Julep

Raise your glass and toast the season with this bright celebration cocktail.

Serves: 2

INGREDIENTS

80ml bourbon whiskey
handful mint leaves
¼ cup fresh raspberries
1 tablespoon caster sugar
2 tablespoons water
plenty of ice

METHOD

Take some of the ice, wrap in a tea towel and crush with a rolling pin. 

In a glass, muddle together mint leaves, raspberries, sugar and water.

Fill tumblers with whole ice cubes, and add the bourbon.

Add crushed ice and, using you hands, curve it up in a hill at the top of the glass.

Carefully pour over the muddled mixture, garnish with a mint sprig and extra raspberries if you wish.
