What's the Kentucky Derby W/out a Mint Julep? January 20th, 2009
The Early Times Mint Julep Recipe
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups water
- Sprigs of fresh mint
- Crushed ice
- Early Times Kentucky Whisky
- Silver Julep Cups
Make a simple syrup by boiling sugar and water together for five minutes. Cool and place in a covered container with six or eight sprigs of fresh mint, then refrigerate overnight. Make one julep at a time by filling a julep cup with crushed ice, adding one tablespoon mint syrup and two ounces of Early Times Kentucky Whisky. Stir rapidly with a spoon to frost the outside of the cup. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
Too many of these is known to make some drive like they never should have received a license. Please drink responsibly!!

I have never been old enough to drink while at the Kentucky Derby. This year will be a first for me. I am rather excited to buy a Mint Julep and finally see if they are as tasty as everyone says they are!

Anyone know a local place to buy pre-made Julep mix? I will need quite a bit and I have looked at Krogers?

Does anyone know the price of Mint Juleps this year at Derby? Are they still $6.00 or have they gone up?
