Mint Julep

The Mint Julep is a Southern icon—cool, refreshing, and steeped in tradition. Originally a medicinal drink in the 18th century, it became the signature cocktail of the Kentucky Derby and a symbol of Southern hospitality. Made with bourbon, fresh mint, sugar, and crushed ice, it’s sweet, strong, and icy cold—basically summer in a silver cup. Whether you’re trackside or porch-swinging, this cocktail is made for slow sipping and genteel swagger.
