“Roosevelt had a special way of doing things when it came to making a Mint Julep, and his signature recipe involved:
10 to 12 fresh mint leaves muddled with a splash of water and a sugar cube,
2 to 3 oz. of rye whiskey,
.25 oz.
A sprig or two of fresh mint for garnish”
We’re missing what that .25 oz is. For science’s sake.
Brandy. The 1/4 oz in Teddy’s recipe was brandy.
