This one packs a punch. The Kentucky Derby is typically a pretty classy affair, but you can make the derby’s traditional drink even more upscale by adding some sparkle.

Ingredients

12 mint leaves
2 tsp sugar
6 ounces bourbon
6 ounces champagne or sparkling wine



Instructions


In a sturdy glass, muddle 6 of the mint leaves with the 2 tsp. of sugar. Divide the muddled leaves between two champagne flutes, add three additional leaves per flute, and pour in bourbon. Stir each flute well. Now, top each flute off with 3 ounces of champagne or sparkling wine.
