Brandy Julep

Julep, one of the oldest served American drinks, is known as an excellent refreshing beverage in tropical climates. It is served during dances and similar occasions. According to custom some sugar and water and 3 or 4 sprigs of fresh mint were pulverized in a glass or in the old fashioned style, in a mortar. This extract was strained and mixed with the selected alcohol, and then poured into a Cobbler glass filled with snow-ice. To loosen the ice it was stirred with a Barspoon and dressed with fruits season — and 3 or 4 fresh mint sprigs like a flower-bouquet. The old recipe is still used prevalent in our time, with the only difference, that we now employ a wooden mint-presser, and serve with fine sugar, fruits and leaves of mint. Les Juleps se rangent parmi les plus vieilles boissons originaires de I'Amerique. Ils sont surtout connus comme rafraichissants dans les climats tropicaux. On les sert de preference comme rafraichisse- ment dans les bals ou autres fetes semblables.
