Description

• A Mint Julep cup is a distinctive drinking vessel traditionally used to serve the mint julep cocktail. Rooted in Southern American—and especially Kentucky Derby—traditions, these cups were originally crafted from silver or pewter. Their metallic construction is not merely ornamental; when pre-chilled, the cup’s surface develops a frost that helps keep the cocktail refreshingly cold.

Capacity

• Standard: 8 to 12 oz.
• Typical: 10 to 11 oz.

Used For

• Mint Julep cocktails.
