Source argument
The article traces the julep from a medicinal term and multiple spirit bases to a bourbon-associated drink and Derby tradition.
Evidence map
Lines 3–12: recipe, ice and vessel variants. Lines 16–19: medicinal terminology; 1770 satirical usage is not a recipe, and the 1784 prescription is not the modern bourbon drink. The 1793 Toulmin rum reference and 1803 Davis account require distinct treatment. Lines 20–30: Clay, Jasper Crouch, Marryat (1840), Thomas (1862), Virginia brandy and later bourbon adoption. Lines 33–36: Derby promotion and dated consumption figures. Notes, bibliography and external links were read as citation entries, not the underlying works.
Locators refer to the local LINK-199 numbered extraction of revision 1370440619. No unverified direct quotations or independent claim records promoted.
Researcher synthesis
Connect cocktail history to changing spirit availability, ice infrastructure, Black bartenders and tourism. Do not project today's bourbon recipe backward onto every historical julep. Cross-reference the Old fashioned, Manhattan and Whiskey sour readings.
Assessment
Early mentions not invention; current-brand and sponsor claims dated; photos and originals pending. Verify the 1807 earliest iced-julep advertisement, Clay introduction and Crouch attribution against originals. Treat the Vicksburg invention story as lore. Recheck Early Times ownership and Derby sponsorship by era; 120,000 drinks concerns two days in 2009, not current annual demand. Historical pewter descriptions are not serving-safety advice.

The original HTML snapshot is now included in the native Wikipedia-Captures-173-218.zip package on No access. Earlier preservation-pending language is superseded for that HTML only. Local original hashes and ZIP integrity were checked; native attachment presence was refetched. Remote images/assets were not bundled and a new cloud-byte comparison was not performed. Written-source reading does not establish that every cited work or illustration was reviewed. Other source-specific holds remain unchanged.
