• Gently muddle to release oils, don't shred the mint
• Crushed ice is key – it chills faster and dilutes properly
• Traditionally served in a silver or pewter julep cup
• The cup should frost on the outside when properly made
• Slap the mint garnish to release aromatics

Cheers to Southern tradition! 🌿🥃
