Bourbon Smash

1. 1

   Put the simple syrup, mint leaves and lemon wedges into a cocktail shaker and muddle them until the lemons are broken down.

2. 2

   Add the bourbon and fill the shaker with ice; using a long cocktail spoon, stir vigorously until very cold.

3. 3

   Fill a rocks glass with ice and use a fine strainer to strain the drink into the glass.

4. 4

   Put the mint sprig in the palm of one hand and gently smack it with the fingers of your other hand (this releases the oils and fragrance).

5. 5

   Garnish the drink with the sprig and serve.
