Anyone who is into horse racing will be familiar with this one as it is the traditional drink of the Kentucky Derby during which some 80,000 juleps are served. Traditionally, Mint Juleps are served in silver or pewter cups and held by the handle or rim in order for the cup to obtain optimum frost, but they work just as well in any tall glass.

Beyond the bourbon, sugar, and mint, the only other requirement for this drink is crushed ice. Any other form of ice will not create the same effect, so take the time to create a nice mound of crushed ice before mixing this cocktail. (Spirits/Cocktails)
