What is the Bourbon amount in Mint julep?

• A. 50
• B. 70
• C. 60
• D. 90

Answer: (C)

In a Mint julep, the bourbon amount is traditionally about two ounces, which is roughly 60 milliliters. This amount hits a balance: it gives a clear bourbon flavor that defines the drink while still letting the muddled mint and sugar come through. Using significantly less (around 50 ml) would mute the bourbon and make the drink taste weak, while more (around 70 ml or 90 ml) would overpower the sweetness and the refreshing mint, and could feel too strong against the melted ice. So 60 ml is the standard, balanced measure.
