Let me suggest one thing with Juleps: a lot of julip recipes are super strong (as they should be), but you'll get a better party drink by watering it down some and freezing it. Then, for the party, put it in the blender. My SO and I did frozen julips for a pool party a while back and they were a huge hit. Just the right balance of cold, sweet, flavorful, and knock you on your arse. Can't recommend enough.

Also a good idea is to have a rye Benedictine julep. It's quite nice.

Been told also to use a straw so that sips of bourbon have the sweetness of the syrup or sugar that settles at the bottom.
And to pepe...a bottle of makers is like what, 20 bucks ? Not much of a waste.

If I'm doing a party, I'm not serving frozen julips. Mojito would be more ideal. To me it's no longer a julep once it's watered down.
I am now trying to grow some Kentucky Mint in my backyard. I tried in the past and failed, but so far this time is going well. Soon I will be able to have an endless supply of my favorite drink

We had made a ton of regular julips for one party, but we had a jug of the stuff leftover that we froze to use for the next one. Worked out surprisingly well. It had the consistency of frozen coke with the flavor of a mint julip minus the bitterness. It was just sublime for party time.

y'all know Makers makes bottles of Mint Julip? apparently only sold in Kentucky with a green label. Friend gets some every year. It's pretty good.
Used to have it around nola a few years back, was pretty good. They also had an Early Times version.
