Classic Mint Julep
Rated 5.0 stars by 1 users
This one is for the thoroughbreds. The Kentucky Derby purists. The Classic Mint Julep recipe has a little bit of Kentucky history in it. Casey Jones Kentucky Bourbon forms the robust base of this mint julep recipe. The small batch bourbon comes from Casey Jones Distillery, the family-owned distillery in Hopkinsville, Kentucky named for the infamous Prohibition-era stillmaker.
