Mint Julep Ingredients

Wondering what’s in a mint julep? These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this top-rated mint julep recipe:

Water and sugar: The homemade simple syrup starts with equal parts water and white sugar.
Mint: You’ll need roughly chopped fresh mint leaves to flavor the simple syrup and eight fresh mint sprigs to garnish.

I have personally never never had one, but I know they are a Derby thing.
Now that I dig a little deeper, there are a lot of off the cuff derby drinks.

I would rather drink a Mint Julep than watch a horse race.

DP THE UNDERDOG TO WIN IT ALL BABY

I have been to the Derby a couple of times. The Mint Julep you get at the track is great but pricey. My father in law, rip, shared his recipe that is made in a bucket. It's damn good. I actually enjoy horse racing. I used to work at a track in Washington at the paddock gate . Good job for a college student.
