Description On the outskirts of Clarksdale, Mississippi, at the end of a secluded dirt road sat a small ramshackle church. It was not a place of worship but rather where many went to seek refuge during impoverished times. Legend has it the structure was transported to the wild mint field by hand, hoisted on the shoulders of two dozen men. The outside remained simple and nondescript but the interior was aglow with pilfered neon signs, Christmas lights, and a jukebox donated by the sheriff's son. It was a distinctly secular place where locals who knew where to find it could share moonshine, socialize, and dance their troubles away. They called their ramshackle juke joint Saint Julep and the oral histories compiled within paint a picture of that magical place where "the smiles were always free and salvation had the distinct smell of sweet mint."

Carter Q. ★★★★★ Sep 15, 2026

I was worried the bourbon and sugarcube would make this cloying, but the crushed ice note keeps it cold and almost fizzy on my skin. It fades into soft magnolia after a couple hours, which is exactly what I wanted for summer evenings.

Nicholas N. ★★★☆☆ Sep 14, 2026

The mint and tangerine opening is genuinely refreshing, like crushed ice with a twist of citrus, but it fades on my skin within about two hours. The sugarcube sweetness in the drydown is nice, just wish the bourbon note stuck around longer. Decent for summer, not sure it's worth the price.
