cocktail style:
Spirit Forward, Herbaceous
Mint Julep
Synonimous with the Kentucky Derby, the Julep is said to be traced back to 1634 Persia. The word julep is derived from the Persian words gol, meaning flower, and ab, meaning water. This golab became julab in Arabic and julapium in Latin. As medievel monks searched for life giving elixirs, variations of these words were used to describe liquids and syrups infused with herbs and flowers. It wasn't until the early 1800's in America when the Julep would be defined as a spirit steeped with mint.
