Mint Julep Cocktail Poster - 50×70 cm

The concoction of Bourbon, a little bit of water, powdered and granulated sugar and plenty of mint has long been a very popular way to drink a cocktail. Simple yet refined. The mint julep originated in the southern United States, probably during the 18th century. Most historians agree that it was developed within Virginia high society during the late 1700s or early 1800s. In its early days Virginians would sip on mint juleps, served in silver goblets, over breakfast. During this time they were made with brandy or rum.
