The start drink of the Kentucky Derby.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz Pennsylvania bourbon
- 1/4 oz simple syrup (try making it with raw cane or coconut sugar)

Instructions
- Combine the bourbon and simple syrup in a julep cup, then pack the cup tightly with crushed ice. Stir until the cup is frosted on the outside.
