Mint Julep is a classic Southern cocktail that has found its way to Fort Ventura. It is made with bourbon, sugar, water, and fresh mint leaves. The combination of the smooth bourbon and the refreshing mint creates a cool and invigorating drink. Mint Julep is traditionally served over crushed ice in a silver or pewter cup, which helps to keep the drink chilled. It is often garnished with a sprig of fresh mint, adding a touch of aroma to the cocktail. Mint Julep is a popular choice for those who appreciate the bold flavors of bourbon and the cooling sensation of mint.
