Method

The easiest way to make the crushed ice is to place ice cubes in a plastic bag on a solid surface and crush with a rolling pin. Divide the crushed ice between 2 whisky glasses. Add the sugar and mint and pour in the whisky. Stir briskly and serve when the glass is frosted, with more ice if liked and garnished with a sprig of mint.
