The mint julep is, as Chris McMillian of the Library Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton hotel calls it, "the very dream of drinks, the vision of sweet quaffings." Thousands of juleps are poured at Churchill Downs during the Kentucky Derby, but any time is right for a sweet sip of bourbon from a metal cup. Don't forget the bouquet of mint, which provides an essential aromatic pleasure as you sip.

Steps:
- Place mint and 1/4 ounce simple syrup in julep cup or 8- to 10-ounce old-fashioned glass and gently crush leaves with a wooden muddler, working them up sides of glass.
- Loosely pack glass with finely crushed ice, then add bourbon. Drizzle remaining simple syrup on top and garnish with mint sprig lightly dusted with sugar, if desired.
