The mint julep is almost certainly the most iconic drink of the Kentucky Derby. With the Derby being 2 days away, what better time to explore how to make the iconic drink?
A explanation of the drink and the process can be found here.
The only modification I'd recommend is substituting Old Forester (if you're on a budget) or Basil Hayden (if you're not) as the bourbon.
I'm just not a fan of Angel's Envy "Bourbon" for a few different reasons; although I love their Rye.
So there you have it: the iconic, enigmatic Mint Julep. The drink that noone likes, but everyone drinks; at least this time of year.
