Gatsby would totally approve of these icy bourbon cocktails.

Updated Nov 13, 2014

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups water, divided
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 10 fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup bourbon*
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps

  • 1
    Combine 3/4 cup water, sugar and whole mint leaves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat just to a simmer, then reduce to low and cook 2 minutes until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; cool 20 minutes, then remove mint leaves.
  • 2
    In a shallow baking pan, combine remaining water, bourbon and chopped mint. Add mint-sugar mixture and stir to combine. Place in freezer, uncovered, for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • 3
    The next day, lightly scrape the icy mixture with fork tines. Scoop into serving glasses; garnish with more mint, if desired.

    *For a non-alcoholic version, swap the bourbon for ginger ale or lemon-lime soda.
