The Ultimate Belle Cocktail.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 10 minutes
Here's How:
- Gather 3 sprigs of fresh mint.
- Measure 2 teaspoons of cold water.
- Measure 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
- Gather about 1 cup of crushed ice.
- Measure 2-1/2 ounces of bourbon.
- Tear off the leaves of 2 of the mint sprigs and place them in the bottom of a tall glass.
- Add water and sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved and mint is bruised.
- Fill glass with finely crushed ice and pour bourbon over the ice.
- Stir and garnish with remaining mint leaves.
- Serve with a straw under a magnolia tree.
Tips:
- If you don't drink alcohol try a nice mint iced tea instead.
- 2 or 3 drops of mint flavoring can be added in step 6 instead of the mint leaves. The mint flavoring will have a stronger mint taste.
