Mint Julep Party

Nothing says spring like a light and refreshing mint julep. This classic cocktail is the quintessential libation for the Kentucky Derby, but there's no need to wait until Derby day!

The minty, sweet flavor of a Julep is perfect for any springtime celebration. Mint Juleps are traditionally served over crushed ice. You can crush ice in the bottom of a cocktail shaker with a muddler or put it in the blender.

Muddled strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or blackberries (or any combination) can be added to instantly transform a traditional mint julep into something even more sweet and refreshing. Just make sure the berries are ripe and at the peak of their flavor!

But be forewarned - these sweet springtime cocktails go down very easy, so savor slowly! Cheers!
