/r/JamesBond: Everything 007

My drink this time is an obvious one - I had no choice but to enjoy a classic Mint Julep with Goldfinger. It’s a good drink for a hot day, but if I’m being honest I’ve always thought this cocktail was a bit underwhelming. I think it depends very much on the quality of bourbon you’re using.

Mint Julep

Ingredients:

• 8 mint leaves

• 1/4 oz simple syrup

• 2 oz bourbon (I used Four Roses single barrel)

Directions:

1. In a rocks glass, lightly muddle mint leaves in simple syrup.

2. Add bourbon and ice.

3. Stir for 15 seconds.
