Double-Barrel Julep
1.5 oz
A whiskey made primarily from a corn grain mash, aged in charred oak barrels.
0.5 oz
Lengthy aging (8+ years) lends some color and lots of flavor to the rum. Most often bottled as a blend of pot and column-distilled rums ('Blended' category). Varieties are available from all over the Carribean and the world.
1 tsp
A peach flavored French liqueur; 16% ABV. Commonly drank as an aperitif or in cocktails.
1 tsp
This syrup swaps in golden-hued demerara or turbinado sugar as opposed to processed/bleached white sugar. This gives a deeper, almost caramel-like flavor with a funky molasses nose popular in tropical drinks. We always use 1:1 syrup unless otherwise noted in the recipe itself.
0.25 oz
Produced and aged at the historic distilleries of Jamaica, these rums are highly regarded for their funky notes of tropical fruit. They are either comprised of a blend of pot and column-still rums (Appleton Estate) or a heavy 100% pot still rum (Smith & Cross, Hampden Estate, Worthy Park, and others).
4 dash
Aromatic bitters from Fee Brothers, that are aged in emptied oak whiskey barrels from American distilleries.
1 sprig
Aromatic plants used in cocktails as a garnish or muddled into the liquor to add a light fresh taste. Common in the Mint Julep.
Put the bourbon, Dark rum, peach liqueur, and syrup in a julep tin. Fill the tin halfway with crushed ice. Stir with a teaspoon, churning the ice as you go, for about 10 seconds, holding the tin by the rim so the entire tin can eventually frost up. Add more crushed ice to fill the tin 2/3 full and stir until the tin is completely frozen. Add more ice to form a cone above the rim. Float the overproof rum over the drink and top with the bitters. Garnish with a mint bouquet in the center of the ice. Serve with a straw. #build #swizzle #ontherocks
