Method
Simple Syrup Preparation
Make Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once dissolved, bring the mixture to a gentle boil for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool before using.
Drink Preparation
Muddle Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh strawberries and mint leaves. Use a muddler to gently crush the strawberries and mint together to release their flavors.
Add Bourbon and Syrup
Pour in 2 oz of Mitcher's Bourbon and 1 oz of the prepared simple syrup into the cocktail shaker with the muddled strawberries and mint. Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake the Mixture
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Strain into Glass
Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice, using a fine mesh strainer to catch any solids.
Top with Ginger Ale
Top the drink with 4 oz of Ginger Ale. Gently stir to mix the ingredients.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a few slices of strawberry on top. Serve immediately.
