Originally Posted By FerretAfros I don't have the recipe, but it's really easy to convert from 'parts'. Just pick however much you want to make, and choose a corresponding 'part'.

As long as you keep the proportions right, it will taste the same That said, my favorite mint julep recipe is far different than the ones they make at DL. It's about 3 parts bourbon, 1 part simple syrup, with some meddled mint leaves and cracked ice. But unless you can get into Club 33, there's no way to order one like that in DL

Originally Posted By Dabob2 It's never been my favorite drink, but a proper mint julep has the bourbon adds a flavor that cuts the mint (and the sugar) nicely. In a non-alcoholic version you just don't get that, so it's just the mint and (in DL's version), the overwhelming sweetness. To each his own, but I find DL's to taste like cough syrup.
