Most any summer fruit will do. Here's our recipe...

fresh mint sprigs for garnish
Directions:
To make syrup, combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Add mint and boil 5 minutes over medium heat. Let cool completely. Strain into a bowl, pressing firmly on the mint to exract flavor. Mix the bourbon and the lemon juice into the syrup. Cover and refrigerate; can be made ahead of time.
