HENRY CLAY'S SOUTHERN MINT JULEP

Henry Clay's Southern Mint Julep image

In an age devoted to convenience and speed, the julep throws up some major hurdles. Although it contains only three ingredients -- sugar, bourbon and mint -- it requires time and patience to make. The drink requires large quantities of crushed ice. To lay the foundation for the drink, it is first necessary to muddle the sugar with a little bourbon and a few mint leaves. It should be served with two straws and garnished with a nice bush of mint, sprinkled with a little powdered sugar, please. And of course, you'll want to serve your juleps in a silver or pewter mug.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

12 fresh red-stemmed mint leaves
1 teaspoon sugar
2 ounces bourbon
Cracked ice
1 bunch mint
Fresh water
Carbonated water
Lemon zest
Powdered sugar

Steps:

In a tall crystal tumbler, gently bruise the 12 mint leaves, and muddle with sugar and a dash of bourbon.
Fill the glass halfway with cracked ice, and agitate with a spoon.
Pack the rest of the glass with ice and fill with the rest of the bourbon and equal parts fresh water and carbonated water.
Garnish with mint sprig. Twist a lemon zest over the leaves, and dust with powdered sugar. Serve with two short straws.

SOUTHERN BELLE MINT JULEP

Southern Belle Mint Julep image

A mint julep is the perfect respite on a hot day. Vivek and I have gone to the Steeplechase, the Nashville version of the Derby, where we fell in love with this quintessential Southern favorite. I add a dash of chile in the form of jalapeno in honor of all the awesome Southern belles I have met who pack a punch and have a dash of spice to their personalities.
