"FacebookPinterest\n\nThe Kentucky Derby is upon us, which means it&amp;amp;#x2019;s time to make Mint Juleps. (Watching the horse race is optional, really.) Nothing wrong with a straight-forward, simple Julep\u2014ice, mint, bourbon, sugar\u2014but if you&amp;amp;#x2019;re looking for something with a little more of a backbone, try this version from Joaqu&amp;amp;#xED;n Sim&amp;amp;#xF3;, co-owner of Pouring Ribbons in New York City. (You may have seen it from last year&amp;amp;#x2019;s Guide to All Things Whiskey.) A little rum, a touch of peach, and the extra kick of overproof whiskey go a long way into elevating the summer classic into something that&amp;amp;#x2019;s a notch above the rest.\n\n  Double-Barrel Mint Julep\n\n  Ingredients 6 sprigs mint * 2 oz. overproof whiskey (try Old Grand-Dad 114) 1 tsp. cr&amp;amp;#xE8;me de p&amp;amp;#xEA;che 1/4oz. simple syrup 1/4 oz. overproof rum (try Smith &amp;amp; Cross) Dash Angostura bitters  Directions Muddle half the mint in the bottom of a julep cup (or rocks glass). Add the whiskey, cr&amp;amp;#xE8;me de p&amp;amp;#xEA;che (or juice from canned peaches), and simple syrup; fill &amp;amp;#xB2;&amp;amp;#x2044;&amp;amp;#xB3; with crushed ice and stir until the cup is frosty. Top with more ice, float the rum and bitters, and add the remaining mint."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
