1 ts Powdered Sugar 2 ts -Water 2 1/2 oz Bourbon Whiskey Servings: 1 ~Robbie Shelton Into a silver mug or 12 oz Tom Colling glass, dissolve 1 teaspoon powdered sugar with 2 teaspoons of water. Then fill with finely shaved ice and add bourbon whiskey. Stir until glass is heavily frosted adding more ice if necessary. (Do not hold glass with hand while stirring.) Decorate with 5 or 6 sprigs of fresh mint so that the tops are about 2 inches above the rim of mug or glass. Use short straws so that it will be necessary to bury nose in mint. The mint is intended for odor rather than taste. This recipe is from "OLD MR. BOSTON'S DELUXE BARTENDER'S GUIDE."

How To Make A Mint Julep | Classic Cocktail Series
The Kentucky Derby might be the most exciting two minutes in sports, but the Derby’s official drink, the Mint Julep, is meant to be savored slowly--preferably in a frosty metal cup. That's the way southerners have been enjoying them for generations.
In fact, Mint Juleps are one of the oldest-known cocktails. The earliest recorded mention of them comes from Travels of Four Years and a Half in the United States: 1798-1802, published in 1803. In it, the book's author, John Davis, describes the Mint Julep as a dram of spirituous liquor that has mint in it, taken by Virginians of a morning. I guess that makes it one of the oldest-known brunch dranks as well.
Fortunately, you needn't travel to Dixie for a taste of one. The Mint Julep's short ingredient list (bourbon, fresh mint, sugar or simple syrup, crushed ice) requires little advanced planning, and putting one together doesn't require any special mixology skills. But it does require good ingredients and the patience and time to carry out each step of its preparation with care. A slapdash Mint Julep is no Mint Julep at all.
