Instructions

Inspired by the rich histories of the United Kingdom, Massachusetts, and Kentucky, this cocktail combines the sophistication of a British gin garden party, the revolutionary spirit of Boston, and the deep-rooted tradition of Kentucky bourbon into one harmonious glass. The Royal Colonial Julep is a refreshing, multi-layered drink served in a traditional silver or pewter julep cup to pay homage to the iconic Mint Julep of the South. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Kentucky Straight Bourbon - 0.5 oz London Dry Gin - 0.5 oz Elderflower Liqueur - 2 tsp Massachusetts Maple Syrup - 6-8 Fresh Mint Leaves, plus more for garnish - 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters - Crushed Ice - Apple Slice, for garnish - Lemon Twist, for garnish Instructions: 1. In the bottom of a julep cup, gently muddle the mint leaves with Massachusetts maple syrup to release the flavors. Be careful not to tear the leaves. 2. Fill the cup about halfway with crushed ice. 3. Pour the Kentucky bourbon, London dry gin, and elderflower liqueur over the ice. 4. Add two dashes of Angostura bitters. 5. Stir the mixture gently until the cup feels cold. 6. Fill the rest of the cup with crushed ice, forming a dome shape on top. 7. Garnish with a sprig of mint, an apple slice, and a lemon twist. 8. Serve immediately with a short straw, allowing the scents of the garnishes to enhance the sipping experience. This cocktail celebrates the bourbon culture of Kentucky, with its warm, smooth undertones; the floral notes of British elderflower, reminiscent of an English summer; and the natural sweetness of Massachusetts maple syrup, a nod to New England’s autumnal bounty. The Royal Colonial Julep is a toast to the shared history and distinct qualities of each region.
