Happy Thursday friends! I’m back with another Sips With Sami recipe and this weeks drink is a total classic: Mint Julep! I personally love Juleps because they are so refreshing with all the mint and ice, perfect for a hot summer day! This recipe is VERY simple and only has 4 ingredients which are easy to grab, a total win win!
Classic Mint Julep:
Total Time: ~5-10 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- 4 oz. bourbon
- 1 oz. simple syrup
- 10-14 mint leaves
- Crushed Ice
- Mint sprigs to garnish
Directions:
- In a glass, combine simple syrup and mint leaves and muddle gently
- Next, add bourbon to the mixture and stir
- Top with crushed ice
- Stir slowly, add more ice if needed
- Garnish with mint leaves
- Enjoy!
Side Note: to make simple syrup, mix 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water and microwave for one minute. Stir and let sugar dissolve. Cool in refrigerator before using.
Thanks for reading as always! Xo, S

I have had bourbon and coke, but never a Mint Julep! Since I love mint in my mojitos so much, this may be the next drink I try. I always enjoy your cocktail recipes 🙂

What’s crazy is that someone just attempted to make a drink similar to this drink for me! I wish they would have referenced your recipe before making it! Lol. I’m definitely going to remake this drink using your guide. Thanks!

I love anything with mint! I could just eat it all day, lol. It’s so refreshing and leaves a good taste in your mouth! Thanks for the sip tip. 🙂
Oooh I love your little bar set up! It’s so pretty. My fiance loves mint juleps, I should memorize this and shock him with it haha.
I love classic cocktails and bourbon so this one is right up my alley! 🙂 There’s definitely nothing like a refreshing Mint Julep on a hot summer’s day. It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon for me today so I think I’ll definitely have to make this one asap!
