It's believed that the name "julep" derives from the Arabic "julab," meaning "rose water." Originally, the julep was a syrup used to dissolve medicines, believed to improve their absorption. In the 18th century, the cocktail, enhanced with alcohol and mint, firmly established itself as a drink for the wealthy. It was served in silverware, and the mere presence of ice in the recipe signaled its high price, as maintaining an icehouse was quite expensive at the time. In the United States, juleps were primarily made with brandy and Bourbon whiskey. However, after the Civil War, and to this day, Bourbon remains the dominant spirit. The cocktail is considered a "long" drink.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Place the sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 2 sprigs of rosemary in a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over low heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let the rosemary syrup cool (you'll end up with a little more than you need, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for some time).
- Pour 3 tablespoons of rosemary syrup, bourbon, and seltzer water into a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until chilled and strain into a whiskey glass filled with crushed or shaved ice. Garnish with lemons and a sprig of rosemary.
