Mint Julep
To be made in the genuine old Virginia fashion, the julep should be mixed in the individual glasses. Into each glass or lemonade cups, put two lumps of sugar and three sprays of fresh garden mint. Have ready finely crushed ice, and with this fill the glasses, shaking it around until the sugar is dissolved and the mint well bruised. Add enough water to nearly fill the glasses (shaking it around until the sugar is dissolved) and into each one put a tablespoonful of the best whisky. Stir the contents of each glass well once, and the julep is ready to drink. The same proportions should be observed if the julep is made in quantity in a punch bowl.
