There's nothing more Southern than sipping a mint julep out on the veranda. No one seems to agree on how to make a "proper" mint julep but here is Irvin S. Cobb's famous recipe in his own words:
"Take from the cold spring, some water, pure as the angels are; mix it with sugar till it seems like oil. Then take a glass and crush your mint in it with a spoon--crush it around the border of the glass and leave no place untouched. Then throw the mint away--it is a sacrifice. Fill with cracked ice the glass; pour in the quantity of Bourbon you want. It trickles slowly through the ice. Let it have time to cool, then pour your sugared water over it. No spoon is needed, no stirring allowed. Just let it stand a moment. Then around the brim place sprigs of mint, so that one who drinks may find taste and odor at one draught.
