What does JULEP mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A sweet drink traditionally made with bourbon, sugar, and crushed mint.
A julep is served cold over crushed ice and is strongly associated with the southern United States, where the mint julep is a traditional drink at horse racing events such as the Kentucky Derby. Older recipes for a julep sometimes replaced the alcohol with a sweet syrup used to make medicine more pleasant to swallow. The drink is stirred rather than shaken so that the mint releases its fragrance slowly.
