Инструкции
- Make the mint extract using only the tender spring spearmint leaves. Throw away the darker leaves and the stems.
- Start intense bruising of the mint by wrapping it in a clean t-shirt and twisting it.
- From a 750ml bottle of Maker's Mark, pour 1/2 c. of Maker's into a small bowl and dip t-shirt containing mint into it to make the mint extract.
- Pour balance of 750ml of Maker's Mark into a 1.0 liter pitcher.
- Pour in simple syrup mix that is equal amounts of granulated sugar and water mixed, brought to a light boil. Add in 3 1/2 parts bourbon with 1 part simple syrup (approximately 8 ounces). Add in mint extract to taste (approximately 2 3 Tbsp.).
- Pour mix back into the bottle and leave in the freezer for 2 to 3 days.
- Take Mint Julep mix out of freezer and pack c. with crushed ice. Hint: silver c. work best. Insert straws to the bottom of each c. and trim them 1 inch from the top of the c..
- Pour 3 ounces of the Julep mix into each c.. Place mint garnish next to straw and sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.
