I got myself some mint plants - spea-ahmint and peppuhmint. I got a muddlah, though I'm not sure if I should use it. I have an ice crushah, but I hear the best way is to pound the ice to dry dust in a canvas bag. I also bought mahself a propah jiggah.
I tried making one, by crushing the ice in the "lahge" direction, but I think it ended up a bit too lahge. I put about 4 speahmint and 2 peppahmint leaves in the bottom, added a couple teaspoons of sugah syrup I had made previously, a splash of branch (actually fridge/tap) watuh, a jiggah and a half of Beam's Choice and and muddled it with the muddlah. It's decent, but I'm gonna try another recipe that involves a couple or a single bruised mint leaf, a dollop of sugah syrup, very crushed ice packed to the top, and bourbon to fill it up.
What's the best way to make this? While I don't mind ceremony and effort, if I'm only making a couple/few, I'd rather keep it simpler. And I don't want to make mint syrup, that just seems wrong to me.
Thank you kindly.
