Mint Julep Recipe

It's Derby time, so don your white suit and pretend you're either Colonel Sanders or Tom Wolfe, depending on your level of sophistication and how much you like fried chicken and/or modern architecture.

Here's an old-fashioned recipe for an old-fashioned race:

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups water (branch water is ideal)
  • Fresh Mint
  • Crushed Ice
  • Kentucky Bourbon (2 ounces per serving)

    Make a simple mint syrup* by boiling sugar and water together for 5 minutes; cool. Place in a covered container with 6 or 8 bruised mint sprigs. Refrigerate overnight.

    Make a julep by filling a julep cup* or glass with crushed ice, then adding 1 tablespoon of mint syrup and 2 ounces of bourbon. Stir rapidly with a spoon to frost outside of cup or glass. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig..

    *This makes enough syrup for about 44 juleps.

    Extra Tips:

    Always use a premium Kentucky bourbon
    Use crushed or shaved ice and pack in cup.

    To bruise mint, place in a cup and gently pass the back of a spoon between cup and the leaves a time or two. You want the mint to release some of the fragrant oils.

    Add a straw cut to protrude just above the rim of the cup and serve. You should be able to get a faint whiff of the mint sprig when you're sipping.

    Keep the covered syrup in the refrigerator (after removing the mint leaves) if you don't plan on drinking all the servings.. Enjoy later....

    There's a great restaurant here in Ithaca called Maxie's Supper Club that makes a nice mint julep. They also make a superb, spicy bloody mary. Everything on their menu is fantastic: andouille sausage po' boys, jambalaya, fried tomatoes, crab & corn chowder. Dammit, I wish I was there now, and it's nine in the morning. I hate crowds and this place is always busy but it's more than worth it.
