Ingredients
-
(2) 750ml bottles RallyPoint Rye Whiskey
- 25 tsp. Powdered Sugar
- 3/4 cup Water
- 32 Mint Stalks with Leaves
-
Copper Julep Cups
Directions
- Remove mint leaves from stalks
- Separate evenly into four quart-sized mason jars
- Muddle the mint in each jar
- Divide the RallyPoint Rye Whiskey evenly between the four jars and set aside for 2-3 days
- This will give the mint plenty of time to infuse into the whiskey
- After 2-3 days, strain the whiskey out of the jars and, using a funnel, into the barrel
- Use the muddler again to squeeze the last of the whiskey out of the mint
- Add powdered sugar and water into barrel
- (it’s difficult to add the powdered sugar on it’s own, so I find it easiest to measure the sugar out into the water, mix that, and then pour it into the barrel with a funnel
- Replace the bung and give the barrel a good shake
- Then set aside for 2-3 weeks to let the barrel work its’ magic
- If available, use traditional chilled silver cups for serving
- Pour from spigot over crushed ice
- Smack additional mint spring on table to open up aromatics and garnish
- Bet on the right horse and enjoy!
