The mint is in
Bourbon has been on super sale at one of our favorite liquor stores and our mint plants are already beginning to take off. We think this might be our drink of the summer. But no we don’t plan to buy the glasses made just for this concoction anytime soon. Our cabinets already runneth over.
Mint Julep
- 2 oz bourbon
- 5 mint leaves
- 1 tbsp simple syrup
Tear four mint leaves and mix with simple syrup in the bottom of a tumbler using a muddler or back of a spoon (or mint julep cup if you have one.) Add crushed ice and bourbon. Garnish with mint leaf.

I love the photo you took of the Mint Julep! You know, just the other day I was watching an old episode of ‘Good Eats’ and Alton Brown showed up to make a Mint Julep – I think something is telling me I need to makes those my Drink of Choice this summer. Like Cecilia, I love bourbon!
Ha! If you were from here, you’d have some … whether you wanted them or not. 🙂
Beautiful and just in time for spring! 🙂
