Stellum Black silk julep
A modern and fruity spin on the classic mint julep, Stellum Black Silk Julep includes fresh tarragon and blackberries muddled in syrup.
BLACK SILK JULEP
-
2 oz Stellum Bourbon
-
1/2 oz St. Agrestis Amaro
-
1 barspoon (or 1 tsp) demerara syrup (made using a 2:1 ratio of demerara sugar to water)
-
Several sprigs of fresh tarragon
-
4-5 fresh blackberries
-
Crushed or shaved ice
-
2-3 St. Agrestis soaked blackberries for garnish
Start by rubbing a few sprigs of fresh tarragon on the inside of your dry julep cup to release aromatic oils and begin building aroma. Add 4-5 fresh blackberries to the julep cup. Add demerara syrup and @St_Agrestis Amaro to your glass and gently muddle until the oils and aromas have been released from the blackberries and tarragon. Add Stellum Bourbon. Over-fill the julep cup with crushed ice, creating a domed top. Tuck a generous bouquet of fresh tarragon into the glass, then pick 2-3 St. Agrestis soaked blackberries on a cocktail pick and place next to the tarragon.
