What is Mint Julep? The Mint Julep is a mixed alcoholic drink, or cocktail and traditionally made with four ingredients: mint, bourbon, sugar, and water. Then, how to make it?
Commonly used items are:
3 US fluid ounces (89 ml; 3.1 imp fl oz) Bourbon whiskey
4 to 6 sprigs mint leaves
granulated sugar, to taste
How to mix it:
*Put mint, sugar, and a small amount of crushed or shaved ice into the bottom of a julep cup or tall glass.
(Optional: Muddle the mint and sugar, then let stand for a bit to allow the broken leaves to release their flavor.)
*Add bourbon whiskey, top off with crushed or shaved ice, and stir well to mix and chill the mixture.
