Ingredients
  

  • 4 Mint Leaves
  • 2 ounces Homemade Honey Whiskey
  • Crushed Ice
  • sprig of Mint for garnish

Instructions
 

  • With the mint leaves in the palm of your hand, clap your hands together 1-2 times to release the mint oils and fragrance.
  • Place mint leaves in the bottom of a julep cup or old-fashioned glass. Add a splash of the honey whiskey. Use a muddler or the blunt end of a wooden spoon to press into the mint leaves and further release the oils.
  • Top with the remaining honey whiskey, then top with the crushed ice. Garnish with a mint sprig. Serve immediately.
