In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let cool.

In a cocktail shaker or directly in the serving glasses, gently muddle the mint leaves with the simple syrup. Be careful not to over-muddle, as this can release bitter flavors.

Add the bourbon to the shaker or glasses. If using a shaker, add a few ice cubes and shake briefly to chill. If building in the glass, proceed to the next step.

Fill four julep cups or rocks glasses generously with crushed ice. Pour the bourbon mixture over the ice.

Garnish each julep with a fresh sprig of mint, gently slapping it against your hand before placing it in the glass to release its aroma. Serve immediately.
