The Classic Cocktails, know how??
Mint Julep
A great cocktail for Whiskey connoisseur. The concise Oxford dictionary defines the word ‘julep’ as ‘a sweet drink , especially as a
vehicle for medicine’. The origin of the word is traced to the Arabic julab and Persian gulab, meaning ‘rose water’.
Ingredients Qty Fresh Mint Leaves 1dozen Castor or Granulated Sugar 1 tsp. Bourbon Whiskey 3-4oz Ice cubes Lots of Short straws 2nos.
Method
Place 8 of the mint leaves in julep mug or al old fashioned or old highball glass with the sugar and dash of Bourbon (enough to wet the
whole mixture). Muddle together with a pestle or the back of the bar spoon until the mint is nicely bruised. Fill the mug with crushed ice,
add 1oz. bourbon, stir until the mug has frosted. Top up with bourbon, stir and plant the reaming mint leaves into the top of the ice cubes
Insert the short straws and serve. Not only do you experience the unique essence of the drink , but the short straws mean that your
noise is permanently amongst the mint leaves, increasing the peppermint bouquet.
