Pro Tips

  • Use crushed ice for the authentic julep experience
  • Don't over-muddle the mint — you want to bruise it, not shred it
  • Slap the mint garnish to release its aroma before placing it in the drink

Why KOVAL?

KOVAL Bourbon's organic mash bill gives it a smooth, slightly sweet character that works harmoniously with fresh mint. No harsh edges — just pure refreshment.
