Cocktail of the week
:
Mint Julep
The early origins of this cocktail date back hundreds of years, when it was an Arabic drink called "ulab." It was a refreshing mixture of water and rose petals that people believed would be their way of
enhance their way of life. Whether or not it worked, we'll never know, but Mediteraneans loved the idea so much they stole it - replacing the rose petals with their indigeneous plant.
nous mint plant.
The y changed the name of the drink to the mint julep and it gained popularity throughout Europe.
It wasn't until the julep came to America that it involved any liquor at all (go figure). Settlers in the early 1700s spiked it with whatever alcohol they had available and used it as a pick-me-up.
drink in the morning. Today, the official liquor of the mint julep is bourbon. The drink is especially popular in the South, where it became the official drink of the Kentucky Derby in 1938. Southerners are protective of their mint juleps and the process by which they're made. In fact, a guy in the bourbon business named Irvin S. Cobb said that the Civil War actually started by "some Yankees coming down south and putting nutmeg in a julep." Yeah, they're not kidding around. There is a debate among bartenders about the "right" way to make a julep, so there's the recipe that the experts in the South use;
Mint Julop
Fresh mint
1 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. water
shaved ice
bourbon
Place several fresh mint sprigs, 1 tsp. of sugar and 2 tsp. of water in a bowl and crush together with a spoon. Fill a chilled tumbler with shaved ice, fill with bourbon cream and strained mint mixture. (You can also put some of the mixture in the glass). Add more ice, more strained mixture and another layer of ice. Pour bourbon on top of glass and garnish with mint sprigs.
