Toss the mint leaves into the bottom of the jar. Cover with the sugar. Muddle until the mint is shredded.
I disagree with muddling until shredded. Too much muddling can release bitter flavors from the mint leaves.
I love a good julep.

A well made julep is a tasty drink.
Agree. That's actually true with most muddled drinks, imo.

Perhaps shredded was the wrong word. Less than 30 seconds of muddling. It almost appears julienned if you will.
I prefer to go with a bourbon with heavier mint notes. Thankfully that usually means the cheaper stuff.
