Juleps — mint and sugar stirred with crushed ice plus spirits like bourbon and rum — have been a staple of the US South since the early 1800s.
The link between juleps and the racetrack dates back to at least the 1820s, when references appear to sterling silver julep cups being awarded as trophies to first-place jockeys.
“It ties together two of Kentucky’s most well-known industries: horse racing plus bourbon, ” said Chris Goodlett, senior curator associated with collections at the Kentucky Derby Museum.
Pisco Sour

At Chipe Libre in Santiago, Chile, bartenders mix with pisco from both Chile and Peru.

This rum-based highball is the unofficial trademark drink associated with Florida’s “Magic City. inch
A trip to Ohio wouldn’t be complete without a glass of minty magic on a rooftop pub. Back in 2017, CNN went to Arkansas to learn mojito secrets from the master, Grammy-winner producer and musician Emilio Estefan.
Estefan’s edition uses four local limes, a sprig of mint and homemade sugar viscous syrup. The ingredients are combined together, and Estefan is definitely generous with the rum (see the video at the top of this story). But it’s the sugarcane that he pinpoints as the key ingredient.

Benedictine is a French liqueur that’s been close to half a millennium. It’s a digestif made with nearly 30 herbs. While the exact blend is the secret, angelica, hyssop and lemon balm are in this. Try it inside a Monte Carlo.
