When cherries are in season, they add the perfect summer flavor to an already delicious classic for the Cherry Mint Julep.

4 Fresh Bing cherries, pitted
6 Mint leaves
1 Tbsp. simple syrup (1:1)
3 oz. bourbon

Combine the cherries, mint leaves, syrup in a glass and gently muddle to release and combine the flavors. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Pour in the bourbon and top with more ice to create a mound. Garnish and add a couple of straws for sipping.
