Mint juleps are traditionally made one at a time, crushing the mint in a silver julep cup. We've adapted the recipe to make a large batch. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups bourbon or sour mash whiskey (12 oz) |
8 teaspoons superfine granulated sugar, or to taste |
1 cup fresh mint leaves |
12 cups crushed ice |
garnish: fresh mint sprigs |
Directions:
1. Stir together bourbon and 4 teaspoons sugar until sugar is dissolved. Lightly crush mint leaves with remaining 4 teaspoons sugar in a metal bowl with back of a spoon until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add 4 cups crushed ice, then add 3/4 cup bourbon mixture and stir well.
2. Divide mixture among 8 (12-ounce) glasses with a ladle. Add enough of remaining 8 cups ice to almost fill glasses, then add remaining 3/4 cup bourbon and stir well.
