re: What are the thoughts on Mint Juleps?

I disagree with muddling until shredded. Too much muddling can release bitter flavors from the mint leaves.

I love a good julep.

Perhaps shredded was the wrong word. Less than 30 seconds of muddling. It almost appears julienned if you will.

I prefer to go with a bourbon with heavier mint notes. Thankfully that usually means the cheaper stuff.
