Add the mint leaves, simple syrup, and lime juice to a julep cup or rocks glass.
Muddle for about 30 seconds, until the mint is bruised and fragrant.
Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice. Add the non-alcoholic bourbon, if using, and stir vigorously for 15 seconds.
Add more crushed ice, mounding it slightly above the rim.
Top with Sprite.
Slap the mint sprig between your hands to release the oils.
