Background of The Mint Julep: 

U.S. Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky is credited with introducing the bourbon-based mint julep to Washington, D.C., around 1850, popularizing it beyond the South. 

The mint julep’s association with horse racing, particularly in Kentucky, grew in the 19th century. By the 1820s, silver cups were awarded to winning jockeys, possibly contributing to the tradition of serving juleps in silver cups, which also frost nicely due to the crushed ice.

The Kentucky Derby, established in 1875, further solidified this connection. In 1938, the mint julep became the official drink of the Kentucky Derby. Churchill Downs began serving it in souvenir glasses in 1939, which became highly collectible. Today, around 120,000 mint juleps are estimated to be consumed during the Kentucky Derby weekend.

Sip Like a Pro: Mastering the Sazerac with Our Easy Guide

/ bourbonjourney / Leave a comment

Alright, get ready to dive into a true classic! 🥃 

Welcome to Thirsty Thursday Cocktails, Episode 15! 🎉 This week, we’re tackling the legendary Sazerac, a New Orleans original renowned for its complex flavors and intriguing preparation.⚜️ Join us as we walk you through each step to craft this iconic rye whiskey and brandy cocktail.🍹 

We’ll start by gathering all the essentials, from the chilled Old-Fashioned glass 🧊 to the crucial ingredients: smooth rye whiskey, rich brandy, sweet demerara syrup, and the aromatic duo of Peychaud’s and Angostura bitters.🌿 

Then, it’s time to get mixing! 🔄 We’ll guide you through the traditional process, beginning with the essential absinthe rinse to coat your glass with its distinctive anise aroma.👃 Watch closely 👀 as we combine the rye, brandy, syrup, and bitters in a mixing glass, stirring with ice to achieve the perfect chill and dilution.🧊 

Finally, we’ll strain our masterpiece into the prepared glass and add the final flourish: a fragrant lemon peel twist.🍋 The moment you’ve been waiting for arrives as we take that first sip, exploring the layered notes of spice, sweetness, and herbal complexity that make the Sazerac a timeless favorite.😋

Background: The Sazerac evolved in New Orleans throughout the 19th century, likely originating with Antoine Peychaud’s cognac and bitters concoction, gaining prominence at the Sazerac Coffee House, and adapting with the substitution of rye for cognac and the addition of absinthe. It stands today as a testament to New Orleans’ rich cocktail history.

The Sazerac

  • Start with a chilled Old-Fashioned glass
  • Add a splash of Absinthe to rinse the glass
  • Add 2 oz Rye Whiskey 
  • Add 1/2 oz of Brandy
  • Add 1/4 oz of Demerara Syrup

/ bourbonjourney / Leave a comment

It’s Thirsty Thursday! 🍹 And this week’s Episode 14 of our bourbon cocktail series has a meaningful twist! 🎉 We’re making the “Old Cranky Dave” – a simple and refreshing 3-ingredient cocktail featuring rye whiskey 🥃, root beer 🍺, and lime juice 🍋‍🟩 (think elevated Root Beer Rickey!).
