This is a nice different, semi-exotic cocktail from the prohibition era. Well it was around for some time before the prohibition era, so it was well know by the roaring 20's.

The Absinthe gives the drink it's main flavor, but being layered with other ingredients, it does not overpower the drink. There is also a nice, but again, not overpowering sweetness to the drink.
The Kummel and the Sweet Vermouth balance the Absinthe out nicely.

This mixed drink is easy to remember it's just 1 of each.

This cocktail is still popular during the summer months in the South today.

Origin's and History of the Mint Julep.
My Grandmother was a hardcore flapper and she drank a lot of Mint Julep's in the summertime during the Prohibition Era. It is a very refreshing cocktail in the summer. We can trace the origins of a version of the mint julep all the way back to the early 1800's. The official drinks as we know it today shows up in print in 1938.  The cocktail has been promoted by Churchill Downs with the Kentucky Derby since the 1930's. A cocktail that is drunk mostly in the summer as a nice refresher. During the Prohibition Era, people drank both whiskey and gin juleps. We will cover the whiskey version here.

The secret to this drink is properly infusing the bourbon with the mint and then balancing it out with the proper sweetness.  Remember to not bruise the mint leaves to much when muddling, just enough to release the essence of the mint.

1920's Mint Julep Recipe:
Ingredients

• 5 mint leaves
• 1/2 ounce Bourbon Whiskey
• 1 tsp. powdered sugar
• 2 tsp. water

Cocktail Mixing Instructions:
Gently muddle the mint leaves, sugar, and the water in a mixing glass.
It is important not to overly muddle the mint leaves, just gently bruise to release the essence.
Add crushed ice and then pour in the whiskey.
