This is really tasty, but to me it tastes mostly like a gingery whiskey sour. What I'm really missing is the tequila.

  • Used Laphroiag Lore as it's my favorite smoky scotch. Delicious, high level cocktail
  • As advertised. Bitter and sweet with a ton smoke. Gets better as it get watered down over time. Made w/ Laphroig Select. 3.5★ I'd like to try again w/ Gran Classico instead of Campari.

Blackberry-Mint Julep

1⁄2 c Mint
6 T Sugar
1⁄2 c Bourbon
4 c Ice cubes (small)
4 spg Mint
Instructions

STEP 1
Roughly chop mint leaves.

STEP 2
Puree the mint, blackberries, and sugar in a blender. Press through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard seeds.

STEP 3
Rinse blender, then return puree to blender, and add bourbon and small ice cubes; blend until smooth. Divide mixture among 4 glasses. Garnish each with a mint sprig

History

Like the original, our julep features bourbon infused with mint. But this drink's signature sweetness is tempered by the tartness of blackberries, which also tint it a gorgeous shade of purple. Another twist: Our cocktail is blended with -- rather than served over -- ice, creating a slushy texture

yarm commented on 8/29/2024:

It should be moved to the book version. I haven't seen the rum split before, but that might be where it started and not where it ended up. Also, that link is dead so I couldn't even check.

  • Refreshing but one-dimensional. Pouring Ribbons' Passing Notes is a better execution of a similar idea.

  • Used yuzu "syrup" which is really more like sweetened juice, so added 1/3 oz lemon, halved demerara, added 1/4 oz more whiskey - & voila! Very good, & super refreshing.
