Mint Julep

You can use a highball glass for this drink, but if you do, it
won't frost.  Traditionally, a silver julep cup is used.

Put 6 sprigs of mint in glass with 2 teaspoons of sugar.  Muddle
gently with the back of a wooden spoon until mixture forms a paste.
Fill halfway with crushed ice, add 1 1/2 jiggers of bourbon.  Don't
stir.  Fill rest of the way with crushed ice.  Stick it in the
freezer until the glass frosts.  Garnish with mint sprigs and a
straw.
