Prepare the Strawberries: Start by hulking and slicing the strawberries. Place them in a cocktail shaker.

Muddle: Use a muddler to gently crush the strawberries until they release their juices.

Add Ingredients: Pour the bourbon, grapefruit juice, and maple syrup into the shaker with the muddled strawberries.

Shake Well: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled.

Strain: Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. You can use a fine mesh strainer to ensure no strawberry pulp gets into your cocktail.

Garnish: Add a sprig of fresh mint for garnish. You can also add a thin slice of strawberry or a twist of grapefruit peel if you like.
