Recipe Summary Mint Julep - Party-Size
We host a Kentucky Derby Party every year, and have for 10 years. When each guest arrives they are given a real Churchill Downs commemorative mint julep glass to which they then add a self-stick name tag on which they print their name. This serves as their glass, name tag, and souvenir of the party. Many still have one from each year of the party as Churchill Downs produces a new one each year!!!Ingredients | Print Panel 8X10 Acrylic3 cups water3 cups white sugar4 cups fresh mint leaves, packed - divided3 (1.5 liter) bottles Kentucky whiskey5 pounds ice cubes, or as needed6 cups ice water, or as neededDirectionsBring 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan and stir in sugar until dissolved.
