The Mint Julep was born in the South where it still enjoys something akin to “national drink” status. But while there are several different ways to concoct a Mint Julep there is only one universally recognized way to serve one. The Mint Julep cup has clean classical lines and only the most minimal degree of embellishment. It’s fashioned from stainless steel, copper or pewter, may or may not be nickel-plated and tapers gently from top to bottom. In addition, it has no handle and a base that gives it intense stability. Custom mint julep cups are the kind of drinking vessel one could imagine ancient Roman aristocrats drinking from. Which is probably why they emerged from the Old South, where the classical influence of Roman culture was strong.
