Mint Julep

The Mint Julep is a classic Southern cocktail celebrated for its timeless simplicity and refreshing taste. Comprising just three key ingredients - bourbon, sugar, and fresh mint leaves - it epitomizes the art of balance and elegance in mixology.

The bourbon, a cornerstone of this cocktail, brings a warm and rich character, while the sugar and muddled mint provide a sweet and herbal counterpoint.

Served over crushed ice in a chilled silver julep cup, the Mint Julep is not only a cool and invigorating cocktail but also a symbol of Southern hospitality, making it the ideal choice for sipping on a hot summer's day, especially during the Kentucky Derby, where it has become an iconic tradition.
