A Mint Julep is a classic whiskey cocktail that pairs bourbon with fresh mint, powdered sugar, and ice for a cool, refreshing drink. The key is muddling the mint gently to release its oils without bruising the leaves.

Bourbon whiskey is traditional, as it has the right sweetness and body. Use a quality bourbon rather than lower-proof options for better flavor.
Gently press the mint against the glass with a muddler or wooden spoon—don't crush it. Light pressure releases the oils while keeping the leaves intact.
It's best served immediately after assembly. Prepare the mint-sugar base in advance, but add whiskey and ice just before serving.
Crushed or finely shaved ice is traditional, as it chills the drink quickly and provides the signature frosty exterior on the glass.
