~Robbie Shelton

Into a silver mug or 12 oz Tom Colling glass, dissolve 1 teaspoon powdered
sugar with 2 teaspoons of water. Then fill with finely shaved ice and add
bourbon whiskey. Stir until glass is heavily frosted adding more ice if
necessary. (Do not hold glass with hand while stirring.) Decorate with 5
or 6 sprigs of fresh mint so that the tops are about 2 inches above the rim
of mug or glass. Use short straws so that it will be necessary to bury
nose in mint. The mint is intended for odor rather than taste.
