Comments · 715 Views

The Mint Julep is a bourbon cocktail best known for being the signature drink of the Kentucky Derby. But this refresher composed of bourbon, sugar, mint and crushed ice shouldn’t be reserved for only one day a year.

Ingredients

  • 8 mint leaves
  • 1/4 ounce simple syrup
  • 2 ounces bourbon
  • Garnish: mint sprig
  • Garnish: Angostura bitters (optional)
 

Steps

  1. In a Julep cup or rocks glass, lightly muddle the mint leaves in the simple syrup.

     
  2. Add the bourbon then pack the glass tightly with crushed ice.

     
  3. Stir until the cup is frosted on the outside.

     
  4. Top with more crushed ice to form an ice dome, and garnish with a mint sprig and a few drops of bitters (optional).
