Yes - there is another awesome video of Jeffrey Morgenthaler out, with his thoughts about the classic Mint Julep. I think the video is not as timeless as his first one about the daiquiri - but anyway - it rocks. But there is also some more to say about your humble julep... The first you can find is, that julep comes from the Arabic jallab - as they had a drink, made out of grape molasses and dates flavored with flower water [and all]. I think this reference is rather unimportant - you won't always refer to Karl Benz and his first car, if you are talking about a modern automobile, will you? But it is rather essential to understand, that this drink is already quite some time around. It predates the cocktail [1806] easily for at least half a century - maybe even longer. The notion to say, that it is a predecessor of an Old Fashioned cocktail I really cannot share. You have to understand: most cocktails were very similar - smashes, juleps, slings, sours - often only one in...
