Brandy Julep

Ingredients

• 3/4 wineglass of water
• 1 heaping teaspoonful of bar sugar
• 3 or 4 sprigs of mint
• 1 jigger of brandy
• 2 dashes Jamaica rum

Instructions

Into a small bar glass pour water and stir in bar sugar. Bruise 3 or 4 sprigs of mint in the sugar and water with a muddler until the flavor of the mint has been extracted. Then withdraw the mint and pour the flavored water into a tall shell glass or large goblet, which has been filled with fine ice, and add brandy and Jamaica rum. Stir well; decorate with few sprigs of mint by planting the sprigs stems downward in the ice around the rim of glass; dress with fruit and serve.
