Blake Lively: Chocolate Mint Julep

Extra points for originality go to Blake Lively and Nicole Richie, who have both indulged in the Chocolate-Spiked Mint Julep at New York City's Abe & Arthur's.
INGREDIENTS
• 1 oz. simple syrup
• 2 oz. Woodford Reserve bourbon
• 2 bunches fresh mint
• 3 shakes Fee Brothers chocolate bitters
DIRECTIONS

Add bourbon, chocolate bitters and crushed ice. Stir. Add more crushed ice to fill the cup and garnish with a bunch of mint and short straw. Serve in a julep tin.
