Clyde's Mint Julep:
Bruise 3 to 5 mint leaves in a cocktail glass with the back of a spoon using liquid or granulated sugar and a small amount of water. Sweeten to taste. Rub the mint leaves also around the rim of the glass. Fill the glass with shaved or cubed ice. Pour one and a half to two jiggers of straight bourbon whiskey over the ice. Add a little water to top off. Garnish with powdered sugar and a fresh mint sprig.
