Just who has the best Julep in this jurisdiction? I have been tapped as one of the judges for the 7th annual Rose Julep Recipe Contest tonight at Sully’s. Sponsored by Four Roses bourbon, the contest invites the top bartenders from Louisville’s bars and restaurants to present their version of the popular Derbytime drink. Last year’s winner was the Spiced Apple Mint Julep by Rory McCollister of Varanese. The public is invited to eat, drink and watch as the panel of judges sip through the competition and crown a winner. There will be specials on Four Roses as well as a door prize of two tickets aboard this year’s Great Steamboat Race.
