We've partnered with Simmer, a new app that allows you to generate step-by-step recipe videos that you can create, watch, and share from your very own kitchen. In the coming weeks and months, we'll continue sharing instructional videos that will teach you how to create tantalizing dishes from JBF Award winners, Beard House chefs, and even Beard himself, all prepared in James Beard's historic New York City kitchen.
One of the most undeniably refreshing and iconic cocktails to have during the summer is the mint julep. A must-have accessory for watching the Kentucky Derby, it pairs equally well with any warm evening (or afternoon!). Traditionally served in silver julep cups, this classic Southern staple is a simple combination of bourbon, sugar, mint, and crushed ice—perfect for staying cool on these 90-degree days. In the step-by-step video below, director of house programming Izabela Wojcik demonstrates how to turn your own kitchen into a cocktail haven with this recipe from JBF Award winners Matt Lee and Ted Lee.
