Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

In a high-powered blender, combine the bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and mint leaves. (Approximately 1 minute)

02

Step
0 mins

Blend on high speed until the mint is finely minced and the mixture is well combined. (Approximately 30 seconds)

03

Step
0 mins

Add the crushed ice to the blender. (Approximately 15 seconds)

04

Step
1 mins

Continue to blend until the juleps reach a smooth, slushy consistency, similar to a frozen daiquiri. (Approximately 1-2 minutes)

05

Step
0 mins

Divide the frozen juleps evenly among chilled serving glasses.

06

Step
0 mins

Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint for an elegant touch.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider muddling the mint leaves gently before adding them to the blender. This releases their aromatic oils and intensifies the minty essence.
Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your liking, depending on your preferred level of sweetness. You can also substitute agave nectar or honey for a different flavor profile.
To prevent the juleps from becoming too watery, use frozen lemon juice ice cubes instead of regular ice. This will maintain the drink's concentration and flavor.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace the bourbon with a strong mint tea or sparkling cider.
