I'm not a big fan of bourbon, so I used vodka instead. It was still very good.

I didn't have any simple syrup on hand, so I used honey instead. It worked out great!

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my julep didn't turn out as good as I hoped. It was still drinkable, but it wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be.
