The mint julep is a traditional drink of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby. It was introduced at this event nearly a century ago. There is over 80,000 mint juleps served on the 2 day period of the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby. It is most likely that you will also find this drink at any derby party that you attend. There are many recipes for this drink all being very similar. One traditional recipe is:
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
Sprigs of fresh mint
Crushed ice
Kentucky Bourbon
Silver Julep Cups
Make syrup by boiling sugar and water together for 5 minutes. Cool and place in a covered container with six or eight sprigs of fresh mint, and refrigerate overnight. Make one julep at a time by filling the cup up with crushed ice, adding one tablespoon mint syrup and 2 ounces of Kentucky bourbon. Stir rapidly. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
