Dear God, no! A true mint julep (according to my southern-raised wife) is mint bruised with broken but not crushed ice over which an excellent bourbon (e.g., Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve ) is poured. Powdered sugar is gently wafted onto the leaves of the mint, and it is served in an ice-cold silver Jefferson cup.

Yes, well,
His Rapturous Rex has summarized
a Mint Julep worthy of the Old Dominion.

And the Emperor of Vice, last I noticed,
was well and truly beyond
the borders of the Old Dominion,
and just wanted to feel better.
Which no doubt he did, after ingesting his secret recipe.

Cheap whiskey and mint jelly, shaken AND stirred.

Why would you want to give your whiskey a flavour reminiscent of toothpaste?
