Great! I used 4 tablespoons of my mint "extract". I tried it before I set it to "marry" overnight and thought I was not going to like the final product, but the next day it was fantastic. A HUGE hit with everyone.

(Haven't made it yet, but am forced to rate, so... I gotta put a 3... Curious why one wouldn't simply make a mint simple syrup, rather than the extract?

I went with the three cups bourbon and it was wonderful...almost as good as being at the Derby...it gets better with every sip. Great idea to make it ahead of time.

This is a strong drink, and o sooo delicious! I made these in honor of my Grandmother who made these every year for the Kentucky Derby. It's the perfect drink to sip on all afternoon and enjoy races while basking in the shade of a huge hat. In my case it was the celebration of a new lawn. However, next time I'll "marry" the flavors. I didn't do that this time, and the mint was somewhat lost in the julep.

This was fabulous! People who don't normally indulge, as well as beer drinkers, came back for 2nd and 3rd drinks. I backed it off to 3 cups of bourbon, which was excellent, then added 3-1/2 on a second batch -- everyone liked the first batch better.

The drink is fantastic. I prepared this recipe two years ago and it went over well with everyone. Even the beer drinkers thought they would just have a taste but came back to finish it off. I doubled the recipe. This weekend I am incharge of the Julep's for a party and I plan on making 4 batches. Actually making it ahead of time is great. I take my ice crusher with me and have the bourbon in a large dispenser for easy mixing.
