No julep is complete without fresh mint leaves, which provide a refreshing and herbal element to balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients. Make sure to use fresh mint for the best flavor.

To add a touch of sweetness, we will be using simple syrup in this recipe. This is a mixture of equal parts sugar and water, heated until the sugar dissolves. You can also buy pre-made simple syrup at most grocery stores.

For a touch of fizz, we will be using club soda in this recipe. This will give the cocktail a refreshing and effervescent quality, making it even more enjoyable on a hot summer day.
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 2: Muddle the Mint
In a large pitcher, muddle a handful of fresh mint leaves to release their oils and flavor. You can also use a wooden spoon or muddler for this step.
Step 3: Add the Bourbon, Simple Syrup, and Lemon Juice
To the pitcher, add 1 ½ cups of bourbon, ½ cup of simple syrup, and ¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the mixture for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld. When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice and pour the julep over the ice. Top with a splash of club soda and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint. Enjoy your delicious and refreshing 1 gallon July 4th alcohol julep!
