Description

Silver mugs are often used for juleps, as some people think they frost better than glass. A glass mug with a handle may also be used so that the hands need not touch the frosted surface. A slice each or orange and lemon, a pineapple spear and a maraschino cherry are sometimes used for garnish, and a splash of rum or brandy may be added to the drink.

Ingredients

Crushed ice
4 sprigs fresh mint
1 teaspoon superfine sugar
3 ounces bourbon

Directions

  1. Fill a collins glass with crushed ice. In a small glass, muddle the leaves from two mint sprigs with sugar and a dash of club soda or water. Add bourbon, stir and strain into collins glass. Stir again with a long-handled spoon until the glass frosts.
