I'm glad you posted this. I have only ever seen julips made with fresh muddled mint. I never made them because they seem too last minute. I'll give this one a try soon. THX

I'm not a fan of mint but having a derby party this was a must and they were great!

Love mint juleps period. Yeah baby! Over the tongue and past the nose, some liquid heaven is headed for the toes. Makes for a cleaner look rather than the muddled mint leaves and no pieces.

Many thanks for those that tried this. Mint Juleps are a tradition, but they do not need to be traditional to be good. The clear mint syrup seems to make them more palatable.
