Serve in a Julep tin
12 fresh | Mint leaves |
2 1⁄2 oz | Rémy Martin V.S.O.P. cognac |
2⁄3 oz | Monin Pure Cane Syrup (65.0°brix, equivalent to 2:1 rich syrup) |
A truly delicious, refreshing cocktail. Woody rancio notes in the brandy are freshened by the mint. Those with a dry palate may want to reduce the sugar a touch.
Although bourbon is now most commonly associated with the Julep, it is probable that it was first made with cognac.
