This traditional silver-plated ribbed base Mint Julep cup is perfect for enjoying your favorite cocktail. Silver has traditionally been used for Mint Juleps since the early 1800s because the silver allows frost to form on the outside of the cup.
Here’s the official recipe:
- Always use a silver cup
- Fill it with pulverized ice
- Bruise one tender little leaf of mint and stick it in the ice
- Dissolve a spoonful of sugar in about ¾ cup of a *good whiskey
- Pour the whiskey through the ice to the bottom of the cup
- Shake the cup slowly until a coating of white frost forms on the outside
- Trim with a sprig of mint or lime
