Knob Creek Bourbon Mint Julep

1 part Knob Creek Bourbon
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons water
Finely crushed ice
Fresh mint, washed and patted dry

In a highball glass, dissolve the sugar in two teaspoons of water. Fill the glass with crushed ice, and add the Knob Creek Bourbon. Stir contents until the glass becomes frosty, adding more ice if necessary. Use the straw to push stemless mint leaves into the chilled julep mix for added flavor. Garnish with sprigs of mint.

Knob Creek Bourbon was inspired by President Abraham Lincoln’s childhood home in Kentucky. The bourbon has a subtle sweetness and full-bodied flavor that has made Kentucky famous for bourbon. Knob Creek Bourbon, bottled at 100 proof as all good bourbons were a century ago, is aged nine years in wood.
