julep

1. A mint julep.
2. A sweet syrupy drink, especially one to which medicine can be added.

[Middle English, a sugar syrup, from Old French, from Medieval Latin, from Arabic julāb, from Persian gulāb, rosewater : gul, rose (from Middle Persian vardā) + āb, water (from Middle Persian āp , from Old Persian).]

Whiskey or brandy flavoured with mint and served over ice. Originally developed as a protective against malaria (Old White Springs, Virginia, 1809) and made using brandy; later whiskey was used; the name derives from the Arabic julab, for rosewater.

A sweet drink made with any of various liquors, water (still or sparkling), sugar and, sometimes, mint (as with mint julep). The origin of the word julep is the Persian word julâb, which means "rosewater." In 15th-century England, the word "julep" was used to describe a sugar syrup variously flavored and often mixed with medication.
