Just Juleps
May 2004
The julep is one of the most delightful potions ever invented. It stemmed
from Kentucky, and many great men have sung its praises. There are many
varieties composed of claret, sherry and even champagne, but the oldest
recipe was made from equal portions of peach brandy and brandy and the
rim of the tumbler was rubbed with a piece of pineapple. The secrect of
a good julep is to have it properly frosted. With the outside of the glass
white with frost and plenty of freshed picked mint there is no drink more
colorful or irresistable.
From the Standard Cocktail Guide by Crosby Gaige (1944)
