In the highball glass, combine the mint leaves, basil leaves, a slice of jalapeño (if using), and the pinch of salt. 2. Gently muddle the ingredients together to release the oils and flavors of the herbs and spice. 3. Fill the glass with crushed ice. 4. In a shaker, combine the bourbon whiskey, lime juice, orange juice, orange bitters, Angostura bitters, and finely chopped ginger
