Try pairing with pickled shrimp, deviled eggs, and pimiento cheese. Shopping Living Here’s a classic mint julep recipe plus 3 other Kentucky Derby-approved cocktails By Janet Patton Updated 1:43 PM Bartender Julie Mora of Dudleys On Short goes. Mint Juleps are good for sipping but also pair nicely with Southern appetizers. While a Mint Julep can be wonderful on its own, adding a little tartness to the mix can really take this cocktail up a level.Top with crushed ice to create a mounded effect. Add more crushed ice and repeat until the Julep cup is 3/4 full. Add the bourbon and IPA syrup and crushed ice, and swizzle with a bar spoon or swizzle stick. Before garnishing with the mint sprig, gently slap it with your hands to release the aromatic oils of the mint. Ingredients 12 to 15fresh mint leaves, plus one sprig for garnish 1ounce simple syrup (or peach-flavored syrup) 2ounces bourbon Superfine sugar (optional). Add the peach slices into a Julep cup and muddle.Though it is sweetened and flavored, the whiskey is primarily what you will taste. It's best to choose one of the higher-end brands for the simple fact that bourbon is the Julep's only liquid. This should take at least 30 seconds, but the longer you do it, the better. If the cocktail has bitters, multiple by 4 (not 8) for the total number of dashes or drops. Convert ounces to cups and pour ingredients in the empty bourbon bottles. Once you build the drink, take the time to stir it gently until the glass gets frosty. Get out an empty liquor bottle and your measuring cups.(This is a wonderful and safe stress reliever, too.) I prefer syrup as sugar can break up the mint which can be unpleasant to drink. Mint Julep Ingredients 8 mint leaves 1 tablespoon simple syrup, (equal amounts water and sugar, heated until sugar melts), cooled Crushed ice 2 ounces.
You can make Homemade Simple Syrup or buy it store-bought. Making crushed ice without a machine is another use for your muddler: Place ice cubes in a Lewis bag (a cloth bag made specifically for this purpose) or wrap it in a towel and whack it until your cubes become finely crushed ice. Simple Syrup: Simple syrup is just equal parts of sugar and water that have been boiled together until the sugar has dissolved.The intention is to release the essential oils, not tear the leaves to bits.
