Heat sugar and water together into a syrup.  Some say equal amounts, some say
one tsp sugar to two tsp water.  (Per serving?)  Pour hot mixture over bruised
mint, just a few leaves, fresh as possible.  Pour about 2, 2.5 oz whiskey (some
say only Kentucky Bourbon) over top of a little of that syrup in the bottom of
the glass.  Serve it with a sprig of mint on top of course, while wearing white
linen.  Just remember, it's 99% whiskey.
