Mint Julep (no sugar & low-calorie)

Σερβίρεται σε:

Γαρνιτούρα:

Mint sprigs

Πώς φτιάχνεται:

SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into julep cup half filled with crushed ice. STIR the drink with the crushed ice using a bar spoon. Top up the cup with more crushed ice and STIR again. Repeat this process so the drink fills the cup and frost forms on the outside.

To make γλυκαντικό (σιρόπι) χωρίς ζάχαρη:

Stir 2 cups of powdered Xylitol Sweetener into 1 cup of water in a pan over low heat. Allow to cool, bottle and store your sugar-free sweetener in a refrigerator. The XyloSweet brand of Xylitol Sweetener performs well.

Αξιολόγηση:

Bourbon with minty freshness served ice cold with the hint of sweetness amplifying flavours provided by sweetener rather than sugar.

This drink is better with the addition of dashes of aromatic bitters but this will add trace amounts of sugar.

Ιστορία:

Adapted from the classic serve by yours truly (Simon Difford) in January 2019.
