Description

Without equal guide to the quintessential Derby drink! A simple concoction―bourbon, mint, sugar, and water―the mint julep is legendary. Few people know its history or even fewer understand how to correctly mix this classic cocktail. Lighthearted, entertaining, and informative, The Kentucky Mint Julep explores the lore and legend of the Kentucky Derby’s traditional tipple. Joe Nickell looks on the origins of the julep, offers a brief history of American whiskey and Kentucky bourbon, and shares some classic julep tales. Information on julep cups, tips on garnishing and serving, and reminiscences from the likes of Charles Dickens, Washington Irving, and General John Hunt Morgan give a fun, historic take a look at Kentucky’s favorite drink. The book includes a large number of recipes―for classic juleps, up to date variations, non-alcoholic versions, and the writer’s own thoroughly researched “highest” mint julep. This delightful book is illustrated with historic photographs, a map of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, and more.
