Tom Bulleit’s Authentic Mint Julep
|
 |
| |
Ingredients:
To prepare individual, authentic mint juleps, you will need:
Bulleit Bourbon
Fresh Mint
Water, preferable distilled or spring
Granulated sugar |
Directions:
* Make simple syrup by mixing equal amounts of sugar and water
into a small pot. (1 cup sugar and 1 cup water.) Heat long
enough for sugar to dissolve but not burn. Remove from heat and
let cool.
* Prepare mint extract by removing the small, tender mint
leaves. Wash, pat dry and put 30 to 40 leaves in a small mixing
bowl and cover with 3 ounces of Bulleit Bourbon. Soak the leaves
for at least 15 minutes.
* Remove the mint leaves, place in a clean cotton cloth and
wring vigorously over the bowl, bruising the leaves. Keep
dipping in bourbon (several times) and wringing the leaves so
the juice of the mint is dripped back into the bourbon. Set this
mint extract aside for at least 1 hour. If you prefer, you can
place the mint leaves back in the extract for a more
concentrated mint flavor.
* Combine the mint extract (leaves included, if preferred) with
the simple syrup in a covered glass container or jar and
refrigerate overnight. This is the julep mix (enough for
approximately 8 drinks) that will blend beautifully with the
bourbon.
* To serve, fill each julep cup (10 to 12 ounces, preferably
silver but glass will do) with crushed or shaved ice and insert
a fresh mint sprig.
* Add 1.5 ounces of Bulleit Bourbon per cup. Follow with the
marinated julep mixture, adding as much as the palate prefers
for a fresh, flavorful libation that knows no equal!
