What Are The Ingredients For A Mint Julep?
A mint julep typically contains four ingredients: bourbon whiskey, sugar, water, and mint leaves. The cocktail is traditionally served in a silver or pewter cup filled with crushed ice, with the mint leaves muddled at the bottom of the cup and a simple syrup made with sugar and water poured over the ice. The bourbon is then added and the drink is garnished with a sprig of fresh mint.
