Cocktail
Mint Julep
The Mint Julep is one cocktail where the quality of bourbon used makes a marked difference in the drink. The concoction’s only liquor, the bourbon gives it the spark needed to balance the sweetness of the other ingredients. Thus, one should never settle for just any bourbon for your Julep. 1792 Small Batch is the perfect, high-quality, great-tasting bourbon to fuel a trifecta of taste with the syrup and the mint.

INSTRUCTIONS
- Using a rocks glass or Julep cup, lightly muddle the mint into the syrup.
