1 Cup Water
1 Cup Sugar

EACH SERVING:
1/2 to 3/4 crushed ice
1 oz. bourbon
2 tsp. lime juice
1 1/2 oz ginger beer
Mint sprig and lime slice for garnish
Combine the sugar, water and chopped mint in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cool to room temp. Strain the syrup and discard the mint. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
