BLACKBERRY MINT JULEPS
A Bobby Flay recipe in the March 2009 edition of EveryDay with Rachael Ray. Cooking time is resting time for the blackberry/sugar mixture. Beware. . .I felt these were VERY strong, so you may want to cut back on the amount of bourbon if you are wimpy like me!!!

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe blackberries for the best flavor.
- If you don't have a muddler, you can use the back of a spoon to crush the blackberries.
- Be careful not to over-muddle the blackberries, as this can make the julep too bitter.
- Use a high-quality bourbon for the best results.
- If you don't have mint simple syrup, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, and 1/2 cup of mint leaves for 5 minutes.
- Serve the julep immediately, while it's still cold and refreshing.
