Step 1

Add the mint leaves whole (2 tablespoons), turbinado sugar (4 teaspoons), and lemon juice (scant 1 oz., or 1/2 shot) to the bottom of your cocktail shaker. Muddle them together until most of the sugar has dissolved and the mint leaves are thoroughly crushed.

Step 2

Add the bourbon (6 oz, or 4 shots) to the cocktail shaker. Add the whole ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker. Cover and shake vigorously for 10 seconds.

Step 3

Divide the crushed ice into old-fashioned cocktail glasses, tumblers, or mason jars (about 1/2 cup in each glass.) Strain the cocktail mixture into the glasses over the ice and garnish with extra mint leaves. Cheers!
