The seemingly simple julep has plenty more to it than just bourbon and mint. It can be altered and added to in many different ways, and it can travel to a destination event too.

yields
Serves 30
50 ounces (2 fifths) Old Grand Dad BiB
12½ ounces (1:1) simple syrup
1 bunch of mint
ingredients:
Special equipment: Cooler, red Solo cups, gas station ice
steps
- Get a big mixing bowl or plastic container. Add bourbon.
- Add simple syrup and combine with any (clean) instrument you have at hand.
- Store liquid in 2-quart containers or any vessel you deem safe for refrigeration and travel.
- When you’re ready, take the batch with you in a cooler. It’s important it remains cold, along with the mint.
- Take the bunch (yes, a technical term) of mint out and separate good sprigs from bad.
- Disassemble the package of red Solo cups, and find the person with the ice. Generously measure 3-ish ounces of your batch and combine with enough ice. Toss some good mint inside.
