KENTUCKY MINT JULEP


1 lump of sugar
5 sprigs of mint leaves
2 jiggers of Bourbon whiskey

Take a silver goblet, one that will hold at least a pint, and dissolve a cube of loaf sugar in it with not more than a tablespoon of water. Take one mint leaf and crush it. Drop it into the dissolved sugar. Next, fill the goblet nearly to the brim with shaved ice. Pour into it all the Bourbon whiskey the goblet will hold. Take a few sprigs of mint leaves and use for decorating the top of the mixture, after it has been well frapped with a spoon.
