We're coming up on julep season - so I'm going to show you how to make two mint juleps! These days the standard bourbon mint julep is what most people think of, but juleps have been around long before bourbon and mint were involved. For those who are looking to venture out from the classic mint julep, I want to share with you the prescription julep too! This recipe has cognac and rye whiskey as a base, and is equally delicious and refreshing. Try them both and you be the judge which julep is your favorite! Cheers!
For more on the topic, I recommend the book
IMBIBE!, by David Wondrich.
