- 6 large ripe strawberries
- 12 mint leaves plus two sprigs for garnish
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 4 ounces bourbon
- 1 ounce lemon juice
- Cut strawberries into small pieces. Tear up mint leaves into small pieces.
- Divide strawberries, mint leaves and sugar between two old fashioned glasses (or mint julep cups). Stir each glass and let sit for minimum of 30 minutes and up to a few hours at room temperature to release the natural juice from the strawberries.
- When ready to serve divide bourbon and lemon juice between the glasses and stir. Add ice to top off glasses and stir one more time.
- Garnish each glass with a fresh sprig of mint.
