Mint Julep's are a classic southern drink, that involve crushed and/or muddled mint! As a rule, a true southern Julep is not stingey with the booze. They are great drinks, but dont rush them.. drinking or making one. Read more And NEVER serve it right after making, let the mint marry with the liquor for a bit.. or coddle it while rocking on the porch on a hot summer day. See less
Ingredients
- 4 oz bourbon or Rye shopping list
- 6 Springs mint shopping list
- 1 teaspoons Barbados rum shopping list
- 1/2 Tablespoon sugar shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons water shopping list
How to make it
- In a prechilled glass, disolve sugar into the water
- Add 2 springs of mint, and muddle (crush with a muddler stick, and mash up with sugar/water)
- Pack 1/3 of the glass with shaved ice (helps dilute, as one sips)
- Add 2 more sprigs of mint
- Pack in 1/3 more ice into glass
- Pack in 2 more sprigs of mint
- Pack in last 1/3 more shaved ice into glass
- (you have LOADS of ice/mint and the sugar water)
- Add Bourbon or Rye (should fill in the nooks and cranies in the ice)
- This will also dilute the burbon quickly as it cools
- Pour the Rum in last and let it slowly work its way into the drink
- Garnish with more mint, and a spear of fresh ripe pinapple.
- Sit.. relax.. and slowly sip this by the pool, on a hot summer day.
- For sure, you wont need many of these.. its something you drink SLOW, relaxing, and chatting with friends.
- The time taken making this also will provide time to chat with friends while making them such a "special" drink... what friend would not be thrilled at teh effort you just went thru for them?!
- **See example picture.. notice all the ice!
