How to Make Kentucky Mock Mint Julep
- Rinse 1 cup of fresh mint leaves thoroughly and gently discard the stems.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and stir in the 1 cup of rinsed mint leaves.
- Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes to allow the mint to infuse.
- Fill a large pitcher with ice.
- Strain the mint-infused sugar mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the ice-filled pitcher, pressing gently on the mint leaves to extract as much flavor as possible.
- Add 4 cups of chilled ginger ale to the pitcher.
- Add 6-8 lemon slices to the pitcher.
- Gently stir to combine.
- Serve immediately in tall glasses filled with ice. Garnish each glass with an additional lemon slice.
