Mint Julep cocktail with crushed ice and fresh mint beside a Bulleit Bourbon bottle

Mint Julep

The mint julep is one of Kentucky’s signature drinks. Muddling the ingredients brings the mint’s essential oils to the fore, and in Kentucky we tend to prefer spearmint.

Preparation

  1. Muddle mint leaves, sugar, and splash of water in a rocks glass or julep cup.
