Place the mint leaves in the bottom of an old-fashioned glass and top with the sugar. Muddle these together until the leaves begin to break down. Add a splash of seltzer water, fill the glass 3/4 full with crushed ice, and add the bourbon. Top with another splash of seltzer, stir, and garnish with a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.

Delicious!
Now, there are some here who take issue with Alton's use of seltzer water, moaning that the drink tastes more like "minty swamp water" than a real mint julep. Now, I'm not southern and I don't gamble on horses, but I did take science class in 1st grade, so I know that seltzer water and crushed ice are both, well, water. When you add ice to liquid (especially crushed ice!, it melts, and yes, dilutes the drink. So, unless you're pounding these within 30 seconds on making them (though if you are complaining about your drink being too weak, maybe you should be swigging that Jim Beam you're probably using, your drink will become diluted. So why not add a bit of dimension to that water by using the carbonated stuff? Alton still uses a rocks glass, not a Collins glass that you would serve a bubbly mojito in. All he does is top the drink with seltzer, not fill the glass.
Bravo once more, Alton

We used Tennessee Jack Daniels instead of a Kentucky bourbon and it turned out nicely. Thanks Alton ;
