Strawberry Mint Julep
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 6 large ripe strawberries
  • 12 mint leaves plus two sprigs for garnish
  • 4 teaspoons sugar
  • 4 ounces bourbon
  • 1 ounce lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Cut strawberries into small pieces. Tear up mint leaves into small pieces.
  2. Divide strawberries, mint leaves and sugar between two old fashioned glasses (or mint julep cups). Stir each glass and let sit for minimum of 30 minutes and up to a few hours at room temperature to release the natural juice from the strawberries.
  3. When ready to serve divide bourbon and lemon juice between the glasses and stir. Add ice to top off glasses and stir one more time.
  4. Garnish each glass with a fresh sprig of mint.
