Strawberry Mint Julep
This sweet spin on the Derby-day classic will keep you cool all summer long!
Ingredients
- 1 tsp water
- 2 heaping tsp superfine sugar
- 15 fresh mint leaves
- 3 oz bourbon
- 1 1/2 cup crushed ice
- 2 strawberries plus more for garnish
Instructions
- In the bottom of a silver cup (or any glass), add water, sugar, strawberries and mint leaves. Muddle together until it forms a rough paste but mint and strawberries are still visible.
- Add whiskey and stir.
- Place ice on top of mixture and stir gently. The ice will melt, diluting your strawberry mint julep drink to a balanced, less potent libation. Garnish with mint leaves and strawberry
