For our inaugural Wednesday Evening Cocktail, we’re going with a classic, the mint julep. Many thanks to CocktailAtlas.com for the recipe:

• 1 part Knob Creek Bourbon
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons water
• Finely crushed ice
• Fresh mint, washed and patted dry

In a highball glass, dissolve the sugar in two teaspoons of water. Fill the glass with crushed ice, and add the Knob Creek Bourbon. Stir contents until the glass becomes frosty, adding more ice if necessary. Use the straw to push stemless mint leaves into the chilled julep mix for added flavor. Garnish with sprigs of mint.
