]]> The Life in a Kilt Podcast and Doug in a Pub ran a cocktail contest last month over on the Life in a Kilt Podcast Facebook page. We picked the top three, I went and bought a bunch of ingredients and then made them. See the picture from the previous post.

I then made these three videos of the tasting of the top three.

The winner to be announced soon.

As mentioned on the Life in a Kilt Podcast today, here is the recipe. Stolen directly from Maker’s Mark, because why mess with perfection.

The Mint Julep is a classic and it does not need to be derby time to enjoy one.

Also, everyone should know how to make a simple syrup. It is the base for so many good cocktails. And you can flavor it with just about anything.  You should always have some in the fridge.

Maker’s Mark Mint Julep

 

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 parts Maker’s Mark® Bourbon
  • Fresh mint
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup* muddled with mint
  • Splash of distilled water
  • Powdered sugar
  • Mint sprig for garnish

For the simple syrup.

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup distilled water

Instructions

  1. For simple syrup, add 1 cup granulated sugar to 1 cup water in a saucepan. Heat to dissolve sugar, stirring constantly so the sugar does not burn. Set aside to cool.
  2. Mix together simple syrup muddled with mint, Maker’s Mark® Bourbon and distilled water.
  3. Fill glass with crushed ice and pour mixture over top.
  4. Sprinkle top of ice with powdered sugar.
  5. Garnish with a mint sprig.
