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 for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but use half the amount.
- If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of boiling water. Let the syrup cool completely before using.
- You can use any type of bourbon for this recipe, but a Kentucky bourbon is traditional.
- If you don't have crushed ice, you can make your own by placing ice cubes in a resealable plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- Garnish your mint julep with a sprig of mint and a cherry for a classic look.
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 customized to your own taste. Whether you like your mint julep sweet or tart, strong or weak, there is a recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a refreshing cocktail, give the frozen mint julep a try.
