Mint Julep

The Derby's signature — bourbon poured over mountains of crushed ice, perfumed with fresh mint.

0/3

Served in a Julep Tin. Pack with dry crushed ice and build the drink inside; the metal frosts within seconds. Hold only by the base or rim so the frost survives. Crown with a generous mint bouquet.
