Wednesday Weekend Warm Up: Julep Recipe

I’m not one who is much for bourbon, but this one sounded pretty good! After the long week that I’ve been having, the weekend cannot come soon enough! Happy Wednesday everyone! We’re almost there!

Blanca Julep

8 mint leaves, plus 3 mint sprigs

3/4 ounce fresh lime juice

1/2 ounce Simple Syrup

2 1/2 ounces bourbon

1 ounce chilled club soda

1 cup crushed ice

1 lime wedge

In a highball glass, muddle the mint leaves with the lime juice and Simple Syrup. Add the bourbon and club soda, then fill the glass with the crushed ice. Using a swizzle stick or bar spoon turned between both hands, swizzle for 10 seconds. Garnish with the mint sprigs and the lime wedge.
