Chartreulep
Green Chartreuse is the only liqueur in the world with a completely natural green color. Adding a splash of this intensely herbal spirit to a classic julep makes the drink as verdant as the grass on Churchill Downs

Ingredients
- 2 oz Bourbon
- 1 oz Green Chartreuse
- 3 sprigs fresh mint (at least)
- powdered sugar, for garnish
Instructions
- Splash a tiny bit of chartreuse into the bottom of a metal julep cup. Using your fingers, gently press the mint sprigs into the bottom and sides of the cup until you can smell the mint, then discard.
- Fill the cup completely with crushed ice. Pour the bourbon evenly over the ice. Pour the remaining chartreuse over the bourbon-soaked ice.
- Top with additional crushed ice, using your hands to pack a snow cone-like mound on top. Top lightly with powdered sugar and an herbal garnish, then serve with a straw.
