MINT JULEP: The Puppini Sisters


The vintage frock rockin’ ‘Sisters’ hit London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire tonight. The ladies’  brand of  Bei Mir Bist Du Schön retro glamour lends itself to this classic Kentucky cooler that’s mandatory for Southern belles. Sip it this summer by the pool: floral print one-piece bathing suit, winged diamanté shades and gold mules optional.


Make it...Gently muddle 12 fresh mint leaves and ¾ shot sugar syrup (gomme) in a tall glass. Add 3 shots of bourbon and crushed ice. Stir and fill glass to rim with more crushed ice. Garnish with a sprig. Sip through a straw.


Drink it...Nightjar EC1; The Lexington N1; Blues Kitchen NW3; Rockwell SW1; Trof NQ, Manchester; Mesmerist, Brighton; Hummingbird, Leeds; Tigerlily, Edinburgh.
