    The Mint Julep

    Adapted by StarChefs.com
    April 2008
    Yield: 1 Cocktail

    INGREDIENTS:

    1 tablespoon (2 teaspoons) of white pulverized sugar
    2½ tablespoonfuls (5 teaspoons) of water
    3 or 4 sprigs of fresh mint
    1½ wine-glass (3 ounces) whiskey
    Finely shaved ice
    Dash of Jamaica rum
    berries, small pieces of sliced orange, and a sprinkle of white sugar to garnish

    METHOD:

    Combine white pulverized sugar and water into a large bar-glass and mix well. Press the mint well into the sugar and water, until the flavor of the mint is extracted. Add the whiskey and fill the glass with fine shaved ice, then draw out the sprigs of mint and insert them in the ice with the stems downward, so that the leaves are above the glass. Arrange berries and small pieces of orange as garnish, dash with Jamaica rum and sprinkle white sugar on top to have a julep that is fit for an emperor.

    *Wondrich used Woodford Reserve Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey while making this cocktail at the International Chefs Congress
