Instructions

  1. Place 8 to 10 mint leaves and the simple syrup in a julep cup or a rocks glass and press them gently to release the oils.
  2. Add the Cognac and rye whiskey. Choose bottlings at a high proof, around 90 to 106, for a fuller result.
  3. Swirl briefly to combine.
  4. Pack the glass with crushed ice and stir until the outside frosts over.
  5. Top with more crushed ice so it rises in a dome above the rim.
  6. Tuck in a mint sprig, and add a small splash of dark rum if you like.
  7. Serve with a short straw.
