Inspired by the mint julep, this spiked float combines a sweet fresh mint syrup with scoops of green mint chip ice cream. Top off your float with some bourbon and a splash of seltzer.

Ingredients
Directions
- Combine the sugar, mint leaves and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the mint steep in the syrup, 20 minutes.
- Strain the syrup, discarding the mint. Refrigerate the syrup until ready to use.
- Assemble the floats: Scoop the ice cream into two 12-ounce mint julep cups. Stir together the bourbon, seltzer and 2 ounces of the mint syrup in a large liquid measuring cup (reserve the remaining syrup for another use); pour over the ice cream. Garnish with mint sprigs.
