Sip on This: The Half Mint Julep Cup Pew Decor

Ever wonder about the origin of the mint julep cup? A mint julep is Southern cocktail traditionally made of four ingredients: mint, bourbon, sugar, and water. Mint juleps were often served in silver or pewter cups. When drinking the cocktail, folks would hold only the bottom and/or top edges of the cup to reduce the heat transferred from the hand to the cup, allowing frost to form on the outside of the cup.



Each year, almost 120,000 mint juleps are served over the two-day period of the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby! This equals over 10,000 bottles of Mint Julep Ready-to-Serve Cocktail, 1,000 pounds of freshly harvested mint and 60,000 pounds of ice.

Using the mint julep cup in weddings has now become a tradition. The silver julep cup arrangement makes for a beautiful wedding centerpiece, used in multiples down the center of the table, or as a complementary touch to a larger centerpiece.

One popular arrangement includes a silver mint julep cup filled with white orchids, white spray roses and white lisianthus.



Antique silver mint julep cups can also be used as votive candle holders. The antique finish of the antique julep cup allows light to shine through.
