Tips
- Chill the bourbon, syrup, and water before mixing so the batch freezes faster and pours more evenly.
- If using fresh mint for serving, slap the sprig gently between your hands before garnishing to release its aroma.
- Stir the mixture well before adding it to the machine so the syrup is fully distributed.
- Serve in chilled cups to keep the texture icy from the first sip to the last.
