Oh, Janice, we didn't like this classic cocktail we loved it. This Mint Julep recipe is definitely not for the faint of heart. It's meant to be sipped so the ice melts while drinking. The simple instructions make preparing this refreshing cocktail at home a cinch. Muddling the mint leaves makes it quite refreshing and mixes...

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

10 to 15 mint leaves, muddled
simple syrup (1 part sugar to 1 part water, boiled until sugar dissolves)
2 oz your favorite bourbon
crushed ice... lots of it

Steps:

  • 1. Gather ingredients.
  • 2. Place the mint leaves in the bottom of the cup to muddle. (Don't tear the leaves) Set aside one leaf for garnish.
  • 3. Add 1 ounce of simple syrup. (You may add more or less if you like depending on how sweet you want this.)
  • 4. Add the bourbon.
  • 5. Add crushed ice and stir for about 30 seconds.
  • 6. Add more crushed ice and stir again. The ice will dilute the drink and frost the cup and that's what you want. Garnish with a mint leaf.
  • 7. COOKS NOTE: The proper cup to use is silver or pewter. I believe they can be purchased at your local BEVMO.
