(And, while the juleps served this weekend will be served as authentic as possible, silver julep cups will not be available. If you wish to bring your very own julep cup, as I will, we'll be more than accommodating. Bottom's up, y'all!)
Mint leaves
Crushed ice
2 tablespoons mint syrup
2 tablespoons water
2 ounces good-quality Kentucky bourbon
Preparation:
Crush or muddle a few mint leaves in the bottom of an 8-ounce Mint Julep Cup (using the back of a spoon to crush mint leaves) until mixture forms a paste.
Then fill the Mint Julep Cup 1/2 full with crushed or shaved ice. Add prepared mint syrup, water, and bourbon. Stir until the silver cup is frosted on the outside. NOTE: A glass tumbler will not frost on the outside.
Garnish with a fresh sprig of mint.
