Steps:
- Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and add the mint leaves. Allow to steep until cooled. Once cooled, strain out the leaves.
- Combine half of the mint syrup, 4 cups ice, and 1 cup bourbon in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into a pitcher. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Rub the rims of julep cups, if available, or wide-mouthed, long-stemmed glasses with orange slices and dip the rims in sugar, then fill with the frozen mint juleps. Garnish each with an orange slice and mint sprig and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh mint leaves: Fresh mint leaves provide the best flavor for your julep. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before making your julep will help it to be extra refreshing. You can chill your bourbon, mint leaves, and simple syrup in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Use a good quality bourbon: The type of bourbon you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your julep. Choose a bourbon that you enjoy drinking neat, as this will ensure that your julep is also delicious.
- Don't over-muddle the mint: Muddling the mint leaves releases their flavor, but if you over-muddle them, you can make your julep bitter. Gently muddle the mint leaves just until they are fragrant.
- Serve your julep immediately: Mint juleps are best enjoyed immediately after they are made. The ice will melt and dilute the drink over time, so don't let it sit for too long before drinking.
Conclusion:
The Frozen Mint Julep is a refreshing and delicious cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your juleps sweet, tart, or somewhere in between, there is a recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a refreshing cocktail to enjoy, give the Frozen Mint Julep a try. You won't be disappointed.
