Ingredients:

Directions:

To make
the Mint Syrup, put 2 cups water and the sugar in a saucepan over
medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the mint and
simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow
to cool, leaving the mint sprigs in the syrup. When completely cool,
strain the syrup. Store in a sealable container in the refrigerator.
It will keep for two weeks.

Fill a
cocktail shaker with ice. Add all the ingredients and shake just to
chill. Strain over crushed ice into a glass, such as an
old-fashioned. Garnish with a large sprig of mint and add a sugar
swizzle stick.
