Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Scrub the fruit, and use a zester or sharp knife to scrape slivers of rind from each. Set the fruit aside.
Step 2
Combine sugar and water in a saucepan, and bring to a quick boil.
Step 3
Add zest, turn heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Turn off heat, and allow to cool.
Step 4
Put mint leaves in a quart jar or crock, and use the back of a wooden spoon to bruise them slightly, releasing the fragrance.
Step 5
Pour syrup, including the zest, over the leaves, and steep for 1 hour.
Step 6
Juice the lime, orange and lemon, and strain into a pitcher. Pour the mint syrup through the strainer as well, using the back of the spoon to press the captured mint leaves and zest to extract remaining juices.
Step 7
For each person, fill an 8-ounce glass or julep cup with ice. Pour 3 ounces of bourbon into each, then top off with the mint syrup.
Step 8
Serve with short straws and a garnish of mint.
