The Jersey Julep is the quintessential summer beverage, cool and aromatic, designed to be enjoyed at the height of summer. This cocktail focuses on crushed ice, a key component that perfectly dilutes the mixture, enriched by the sweetness of maple syrup and the distinct flavor of apple brandy. The meticulous preparation of this julep, with its freshly muddled mint leaves, offers a moment of ultimate refreshment, ideal for relaxing under the summer sun.

Ingredients

8 to 10 mint leaves
½ ounce of maple syrup
2 ounces of apple brandy
Crushed ice
2 to 3 mint sprigs for garnish

Preparation steps

In the bottom of a julep cup, gently muddle the mint leaves with the maple syrup to release the oils.
Add the apple brandy and fill the cup halfway with crushed ice.
Stir until chilled (the cup should become frosty).
Add more ice, stir again, and then top the cup with a cone of ice.
Garnish with mint sprigs placed next to the straw for maximum aromatic appeal.
