Breakfast Julep
Start the day off with the flavors of breakfast - coffee, maple, orange and mint - all combined in a mint julep package. Perfect for a pick-me-up start to the day, whether the Derby is running or not.
Ingredients
- ½ oz coffee liqueur
- ½ oz maple syrup
- 1/4 oz orange liqueur
- 5 mint leaves
- 2 oz bourbon
- Garnish: mint sprig
Instructions
- Rub one of the mint leaves on the inside of the julep cup and the rim of the glass julep cup. Add the coffee liqueur, orange liqueur, the mint leaves and the syrup. Muddle lightly, then add the bourbon and give everything a quick swirl. Fill the cup with cracked ice and clear a small hole for the mint sprig garnish and straw. Spank the mint sprig against the back of your hand a few times to release the mint aroma and place the mint and straw right next to each other in the julep cup. If you’ve got a little bacon to throw in there, too, have at it!
