Classic Mint Julep
Make a sugar syrup by dissolving equal quantities of sugar and water in a small saucepan.
1 cup of each is ideal.
Once the sugar is dissolved, simmer the syrup gently for 10 minutes then allow to cool.
Tear up several eau de cologne mint leaves and put into a tall chilled glass.
Add a little sugar syrup and a measure of whisky, stir well and top up with lots of ice.
Relax on a balmy warm evening with one of these and feel your stresses melt away.
