The Mint Julep has been associated with the Kentucky Derby for over a century. This simple cocktail is easy to make yet enjoyed by so many during this weekend.
Mix up a simple syrup with equal parts water and sugar. Boil until the sugar has dissolved and let cool. Add mint sprigs to the mixture and let sit over night. Fill a cup with crushed ice and add one tablespoon of mint syrup and 2 ounces of Early Times Kentucky Whiskey. Garnish with a mint and enjoy.
