Blackberry Mint Julep

A TWIST ON THE CLASSIC JULEP

The concept of a mint julep is known to be a favourite amongst the people of Southern United States, or in specific Kentucky Derby. This bourbon based cocktail is truly a favourite amongst many, so much so that in the 1890s a Kentucky newspaperman called the cocktail, “The zenith of man’s pleasure…. the very dream of drinks”.

Now we thought we would add a little bit of a twist to the classic recipe. Keeping the essence of the drink intact, we just added one ingredient, that will knock your socks off. 

Serves: 2
5 mins

Steps

  1. Chop your mint leaves roughly.
  2. This helps in muddling your ingredients better.
  3. Muddle the blackberries, mint and sugar together to open the flavours.
  4. Place the muddled mixture in a blender and puree the whole mix. This helps combine it thoroughly.
  5. Once pureed, pass the mixture through a fine sieve to discard the seeds or skins.
  6. Rinse the blender, return the puree back into the blender.
  7. Pour in the bourbon and small ice cubes.
  8. Blend until the mix is smooth. Take a bar spoon and just spin the mix.
  9. Pour your drink into 4- 5 wide rimmed chilled glasses or a chilled pitcher. Top the julep with additional ice (optional).
