The history of the Jocose Julep is not clear. It seems to have been created during Prohibition, but it has not been proven. It was first mentioned in print in 1922, so it is believed to have emerged during the Prohibition era. It would have been created as a way to make use of fruit juice that was left over from pre-prohibtion cocktails.
