Introduction
The Mint Julep is a quintessential Southern cocktail that has been enjoyed for centuries, particularly known for its association with the Kentucky Derby. Traditionally made with bourbon, fresh mint, sugar, and water, this refreshing beverage balances sweetness with a cool, invigorating mint flavor. Its roots trace back to the 18th century, where it was originally seen as a medicinal drink, but it has since evolved into a symbol of Southern hospitality and leisurely afternoons.
