Elderflower Julep

5 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 15 to 20 large spearmint leaves
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 3 oz bourbon
  • 2 oz St. Germain
  • 1 1/2 ounces strained grapefruit juice (preferably fresh squeezed)

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine mint and honey in martini shaker. Muddle thoroughly. I use the end of a wooden spoon, as I don't have a proper muddler. You want the mint to exude some juices, and almost form a syrup with the honey so put some muscle in it!
  2. 2
    Put 2 to 3 ice cubes into each of two 7 to 8 ounce glasses, and set aside.
  3. 3
    Add the bourbon, St. Germain, grapefruit juice, and a handful of ice cubes to the shaker. Shake vigorously for about 15 shakes.
  4. 4
    Strain into prepared glasses. Garnish with a mint sprig if you're feeling fancy. Take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy!
