The Old-Fashioned
Heritage Julep
Ingredients
- 1 bouquet
- 1¼ ounces Busnel Pays d’Auge VSOP
- ½ ounce
- ¼ ounce
- ¼ ounce Montenegro
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Syrup
- 2 dashes phosphoric acid solution
- Garnish: 3 apple slices on a skewer and confectioners’ sugar
Method
Rub the interior of a Julep tin with the mint bouquet, then set the mint aside. Add the remaining ingredients and fill the tin halfway with crushed ice. Holding the tin by the rim, stir, churning the ice as you go, for about 10 seconds. Add more crushed ice to fill the tin about two-thirds full and stir until the tin is completely frosted. Add more ice to form a cone above the rim. Garnish with the mint bouquet and the apple slices, then lightly dust the top of the mint with the confectioners’ sugar. Serve with a straw.
