what's that "Optional" fruit salad doing in my mint julep??
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

muddle several leaves of fresh mint with 1/2 oz of simple syrup in a cup. Fill cup with finely crushed ice. Pour in 2 oz of... good bourbon. Mound more crushed ice on top. Add a short straw and a big sprig of fresh mint. Or just pour the bourbon into the cup, toss the rest of the ingredients, and enjoy. Either way, don't put cherries or orange slices in your julep.Read more
