Mint Julep
Fresh Mint & Simple Syrup
The Ultimate Race Day Drink!
🐎 + 🌿 + 🥃 = AND THEY’RE OFF!!!
These three words, when heard, are synonymous with big hats, fancy suits, and most of all, The Mint Julep.
The Mint Julep or The Julep, as it was originally known, started off in the early Arabic times, when sweet elixirs were mixed with herbs and other forms of alcohol to create rudimentary medicines. As time went on, the humble Julep made its way to America where throughout the 18th and 19th centuries it was crafted, refined, and established as a true classic amongst imbibers and race fans alike.
Now you can find a Mint Julep at most if not all race tracks, cocktail bars, and even sporting events across the world. Some are served in traditional silver or glass cups while others are enjoyed on a patio or even on a hike. As a cocktail, the Mint Julep isn’t for everyone…but as an experience, we’re sure you’ll place your bets on it at least once!
TASTING & SERVING NOTES: A Leisuremann's Mint Julep celebrates one of the world’s oldest cocktails in all its minty glory. On first taste, you notice that our Mint Julep is strong both on the Bourbon and on the mint simple syrup. This is by design though. As the crushed ice in your glass melts the drink transforms into a beautiful blend of mint, simple syrup, and Bourbon. In other words, take your time and savor the experience! A Leisuremann’s Mint Julep is best served with a copious amount of crushed ice in a traditional Julep silver cup with a mint sprig as a garnish. Cheers!
