Blogger Cooking with Sugar shares a favorite recipe. The first week in May is typically the time when everyone across the country becomes a Mint Julep fan. Like wearing a big hat to the derby, the mint julep has become a staple drink for most equestrian enthusiasts attending the event. However, for the rest of the South, it has a long tradition of being sipped on any hot summer day. For me, making a Mint Julep is almost as fun as drinking one.

1 To make the mint simple syrup, add the water and the sugar to a small saucepan and boil for 1 to 2 minutes stirring until sugar is dissolved. Muddle mint slightly to release natural oils, stir it into the syrup mixture. Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.
2 Fill an 8-oz glass with crushed ice. Pour in the whisky and give it a good stir. Then top with the mint syrup and a few sprigs of fresh mint.
3 Enjoy slowly (and responsibly).
