Ahead of the race this Saturday, we’re turning to the one and only Martha Stewart, who visited The TODAY Show to share her secrets for making an elevated version of Louisville’s signature cocktail. The key to the most delicious minty drink? According to Martha Stewart, you must add lemon syrup.
It sounds fancy, but it’s easy enough to make your own lemon syrup by simmering equal parts fresh lemon juice and sugar with a splash of water and the lemon rinds. Stewart says to cook this mixture until you have a “thick, beautiful syrup.” The lemon syrup is a natural pairing for the mint and the citrusy flavor also brightens up the bourbon.
