Скачать или смотреть April 2025 - Mint Julep

The Kentucky Derby is less than a month away and while many people have never had a Mint Julep cocktail maybe now is the time to learn how to make the drink so you can enjoy the race with the official drink of the Derby. The Mint Julep is very easy to make and is best served over crushed ice. This is the one drink that gets better with some dilution from the melting ice given it is a Bourbon forward drink with just simple syrup to add sweetness and a touch of mint. I like to make a mint simple syrup made with turbinado sugar (sugar in the raw) to add a touch more mint flavor. If you are planning to have a Kentucky Derby party, it is also fun to serve the drink in a classic stainless steel cup. While you might be watching the race on TV you can at least enjoy the Mint Julep with your friends in classic style. Enjoy!!!!
