In a metal mint julep tumbler, gently press mint and fill tumbler with finely crushed ice.  Add Sweet Lucy and top off tumbler with more crushed ice.  Garnish with sprig of fresh mint first dipped into cold water and then into powdered sugar.

Same basic recipe as above but use a tall, Collins glass instead of the traditional Mint Julep tumbler.  After topping glass off with crushed ice, add a splash of club soda.

Stuff a good sized jar with fresh mint sprigs.  Pour in whole bottle of Sweet Lucy and store it in the refrigerator. Serve up as often as necessary, over ice with or without club soda.
