Description:
The Mint Julep is an American classic, especially associated with the American South and the Kentucky Derby. It is one of the best-known refreshing serves for bourbon. The cocktail looks simple, but it depends on ice and mint. Crushed ice chills and dilutes the strong base quickly, while mint should perfume the drink without adding bitterness.
