Why not kick off your backyard barbecue or garden party with this old-fashioned, southern cocktail? It’s refreshing, pretty and dangerously addictive. I guarantee you and your guests will love it!.

2 oz bourbon
mint
1 tsp liquid sugar
Brut champagne or dry sparkling wine

Muddle mint and liquid sugar in a tall glass. Fill the glass two-thirds full with ice. Add bourbon and stir briskly. Add ice-cold champagne or sparkling wine. Stir and garnish with mint. Ahhh!
