A bartender poet instructs us in the art of the Mint Julep.

My first attempt at making a Mint Julep. I made it using a healthy handful of fresh picked mint leaves, some Wild Turkey Rare Breed, crushed ice, and agave nectar. Muddle (do not pulverize) mint leaves in bottom of glass. Cover with about two table spoons of agave. Pack the glass to the rim with crushed ice, and drizzle a little more agave on top. Then, fill the glass to the rim almost with about 3 or 4 oz. of bourbon.
