Mint Julep

A Mint Julep is a classic cocktail that combines bourbon whiskey, fresh mint leaves, sugar, and crushed ice. It's traditionally served in a silver or pewter cup, creating a refreshing and aromatic drink. The mint adds a cool flavor, balancing the warmth of the bourbon, while the crushed ice chills the beverage, making it especially popular in warm weather or at events like the Kentucky Derby. The drink is often garnished with a sprig of mint for presentation and aroma, offering a smooth, crisp, and revitalizing experience.
