87. JULEPS. The julep is peculiarly an American beverage, and m the Southern states is more popular than any other. It was introduced into England by Captain Marryatt, where The gallant captain seems to have had a penchant for the nectareous drink, and publish- ed the recipe in his work on America. We give it in his own words: "I must descant a little upon the mint julep>, as it is, with the thermometer at 100^, one of the most de- lightful and insinuating potations that ever was invented, and may be drunk with equal satisfaction when the ther- mometer is as low as 70°. There are many varieties, such as those composed of claret, Madeira, &c. ; but the iugre- it is now quite a favorite.
