Description
The mint maple syrup makes this unlike any julep you’ve had before.
Ingredients
Scale
For the mint maple syrup:
- 3/4 cup water
- ½ cup maple syrup
- A large bunch of fresh mint
For the mint julep:
- Crushed ice
- 2 oz bourbon
- 1/2 oz maple mint syrup, or more, to taste
- Fresh mint, to garnish
Instructions
For the syrup:
- Combine the water and maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a low boil, then simmer until combined.
- Remove from heat, and add the fresh mint. Cover and set aside to infuse for at least 30 minutes (I often leave mine in the refrigerator overnight for a really minty flavor).
- Strain the mint, and transfer the syrup to a glass jar, and store in the refrigerator.
For the cocktail:
- Fill a glass with crushed ice, then pour the bourbon and simple syrup over the ice. Top with fresh mint, and enjoy!
