During the beach week prior to my wedding @bkrichar figured out that brown sugar in a mojito is dynamite. Well, I’d like to confirm that the same is true for a mint julep. I’m not sure about Brian’s original ratio, but I made a 50/50 mix of brown and refined sugar into a simple syrup and that is super. If the mint julep is a little too boozey then (in another move inspired by the original skankster) top it off with Coca Cola or your favorite cola beverage.
