Invite some friends over, make (or buy) some of your favorite appetizers, and treat yourself to a cocktail! Here's one of my favorites...

6-7 Fresh Mint Leaves
1 Lemon Half (cut in half again)
1 Tbsp. Simple Syrup
2 oz. Bourbon
Ice
In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker mash the mint, lemon, and simple syrup five or six times with a muddler--just enough to release the flavors. Add the bourbon and transfer to an Old Fashioned glass. Fill half way with ice and stir. Fill the rest of the glass with ice (the ice on top will keep the lemon and mint from surfacing and making it hard to drink). Garnish with mint...enjoy!
What will you be treating yourself to this weekend?
