Simple syrup
Mint extract
Fresh mint
Bourbon
Shaved ice
powdered sugar
Granulated Sugar
Simple syrup is one part granulated Sugar one part water. Cook until dissolved
Mint extract: take mint leaves off stems (use about 40 leaves per 1 liter of bourbon) and soak in bourbon for 15 mins. Make sure leaves are completely covered. Once finished soaking take the leaves and place then in a cloth. Continue to wring the cloth over the bourbon the leaves were soaking in. Continue to do this multiple times adding more bourbon to the cloth. Do this until the leaves are bruised.
Add one part simple syrup to 3 1/2 parts bourbon. Mix in mint extract (about four tablespoons) until your desired amount of mint taste and smell is achieved.
Refrigerate for atleast 24 hours to let the flavors marry. Serve over shaved ice in a silver cup. Finish with a sprig of mint and powdered sugar.

That sounds like a recipe I found on the Makers Mark website a few years ago. It was pretty good.
I usually just get a little bottle of mint extract, and a half empty bottle of bourbon. Mix up some simple syrup, and fill to the top of the bottle with it after it has cooled. A couple teaspoons of extract, and let it chill overnight. But that's my quick and easy method. I prefer the recipe you posted, but sometimes I don't have the time for all of that.
