Peach and Mint Julep
This julep isn't just for the Derby, it's a refreshing delicious serve for any day. The key to crushing a julep is the ice... and we include our tip on that below.
2 1/2 oz. NOLET'S Silver Gin
1 oz. Simple Syrup
6 Mint Leaves + More for Garnish
1 Peach Slice
Squeeze of Lime plus Lime Wheel for Garnish
Crushed Ice
3 dashes of Peach Bitters
Powdered Sugar to dust Mint Garnish
Place mint leaves, peach slice, a squeeze of lime and simple syrup in the bottom of a Julep cup; muddle lightly to release mint oil and break down peach. Fill cup completely with crushed ice (Pro-Tip: for crushed ice, use a kitchen towel and a mallet to break up ice or a high-powered blender with a little water). Pour NOLET'S Silver over ice and add more crushed ice on top. Finish with sugar-dusted mint leaves, a lime wheel, and a straw.
