The term julep originates from a Persian word "gulab," which was adapted into English as another term for medicine. It eventually came to slyly refer to a drink as a morning pick-me-up. In 1938, this mint- and bourbon-based julep was named the official cocktail of the Kentucky Derby, where it's now consumed throughout the day.
Instructions:
Muddle the mint leaves and simple syrup in a mint julep cup. Add bourbon and fill with with crushed ice. Stir until the cup is frosted. Fill with more crushed ice. Serve with a straw and a mint sprig garnish.
