Mint Whiskey Sour
Introduction:
Yet another sour with a fresh minty twist! Resembles a mint julep, just a little more boozy and less sweet.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz. bourbon (I liked Maker’s Cask)
- ¾ oz. lemon
- ½ oz. mint syrup
Garnish
- Mint leaf and/or Lemon peel
Preparation:
Mint Simple: I made regular simple (1:1 water:sugar) with a hand full of mint leaves and put stove on simmer for ~10 minutes.
Once cooled, shake all ingredients and pour in a rock filled old fashioned glass.
Notes:
I attempted this drink with regular simple and a shaken with several mint leaves. Less minty and could go well with an egg white and served in a coup. But something about the minty flavor said to serve it with ice. Cool refreshing summer drink.
