Ingredients

2 ounces gin

10 - 12 mint leaves

Directions

In the bottom of a julep cup, muddle the mint leaves with the superfine sugar until the mint starts to break down. Add the gin and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add crushed ice to fill cup three-quarters of the way and top with seltzer. Stir, top with more crushed ice, and garnish with a mint sprig. Serve immediately.
