Prep. Time: 0:05
Serves: 1

1 1/2 cups shaved ice
4 oz. bourbon
2-3 drops brandy
1/4 tsp. powdered sugar - for garnish
1 lemon slice - for garnish
1 spring fresh mint leaves - for garnish

-Place 1 1/2 tsp. powdered sugar, mint leaves, and water in a highball glass; with a spoon, crush the mint until it is bruised, then stir mixture to dissolve the sugar.
-Fill glass with shaved ice, packing it down firmly.
-Pour the bourbon into the glass.
