Mint Julep (Candy)
editAs I understand it, there is also a candy called the Mint Julep, which (unverified) is where the name for the drink came from. Should this page be changed? Should/is there a page for the Mint Julep candy? I didn't find one, though I didn't look /that/ hard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dimo414 (talk • contribs)
The candy is named after the drink; not the other way around. The candy, an old-fashined taffy variety, was introduced in the 1930's, whereas the drink is an American classic which has been around since the 1700's. The candy is old, but the drink is much older. However, I think the candy is certainly worth a mention on the page for the drink. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.98.45 (talk • contribs)
Adding a link to the External links section
editI nominate my own link to be included in the external links section; It is non-commerical, and is well researched. http://thinkingbartender.com/mintjulep.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thinking bartender George (talk • contribs)
1765?
editHow can a play written in 1845 support the claim that the julep was first written about in 1765? —C.Fred (talk) 18:56, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Alleged copyvio
editCopyright violation, please do not revert edit, much of the material in this article is copyrighted and must be removed per u.s. copyright office chapter 5, circular 92, section a. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1:c6e1:bdc1:a87f:c0e0:e4d:cac (talk) 16:43, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Much of the material you removed was direct quotations. Since the latest of the two sources was from 1805, I challenge the claim that it's still under copyright. —C.Fred 7(talk) 17:26, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
Thats directly from my research, i dont care about your rules, this is law, my books were published far before those references were added. Revert please im not here to argue im here to prevent the theft of intellectual property. This is copyrighted material, remove it.
- Your book was published before 1805? That would imply you're at least 220 years old, and that just doesn't make sense. —C.Fred (talk) 18:11, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- And actually, the source was an 1803 book, not 1805. —C.Fred (talk) 18:12, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
Article needs improvement
editThis article needs improvement. Wikipedia works on a collaboration of users of agree to terms and conditions by volunteering your time. It would be nice if others would be open to ideas other than thier own poorly sourced, ill informed, misguided opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1:C685:4E4D:98E4:17AA:B92C:FC69 (talk) 18:43, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Angostura bitters
editHow about adding a dash of Angostura bitter to the drink? Is it really that untraditional? The first recipe for a Mint Julep that I had come across, in a book by a Tim Cole, included Angostura bitters. 2001:8E0:21BE:8E00:14F4:1507:D345:CD50 (talk) 14:17, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
