Hi ,

How are you celebrating the weekend? We're kicking back with these super refreshing Mint Juleps.

I think you'll love them too, whether you're a fan of the Kentucky Derby or just a fan of spring sunshine.

How to Make a Perfect Mint Julep

My mint julep recipe isn't totally traditional. Two simple twists make it extra-fresh and bright:

  1. Minty simple syrup! Instead of muddling fresh mint with sugar or simple syrup, I make an easy mint-infused simple syrup. It makes the cocktail even more minty!
  2. A squeeze of lemon. Anyone surprised? I love how the lemon juice brightens this classic drink.

Combine them with bourbon and crushed ice, and taste and adjust the ratios to make a cocktail you love.

Last but not least, garnish your glass with more fresh mint. Cheers!
