Mint Julep Cocktail Recipe
The Mint Julep is a Southern classic, traditionally associated with the Kentucky Derby, known for its refreshing, aromatic qualities. Made with bourbon, fresh mint, sugar, and crushed ice, it combines the bold warmth of bourbon with the cool, fragrant notes of mint. The cocktail is served in a silver or pewter cup, often garnished with a sprig of mint, creating a delightful contrast between the sweetness of the sugar and the crispness of the mint. This simple yet sophisticated drink captures the essence of leisurely summer sipping.
