OG Mint Julep

Ok, but seriously, fill up those atomizers…

It’s time to use that mint simple syrup from yesterday, today we’re making an OG mint julep the right way. I’ve heard tell of folks in KY putting some funky Jamaican rum on top o their juleps before. If you know me, you know how much I love funky rum (funky in a ripe banana way, not in a 70’s jazz way - actually maybe both?).

Anyways, it adds a level of complexity, fruitiness and sweetness to an already delicious drink. Try it out this weekend and let me know below how you’re celebrating the @kentuckyderby!

Chartreuse Julep

Sick of boring ole mint juleps? This one is for you.

If you haven’t had Chartreuse vegetal elixir before, you need to find a bottle. It has all the herbaciousness of Chartreuse without the sweetness. It works really well in a julep and really complements the mint and bourbon, y’all gotta try it out.

Big thanks to jameswitty for hooking me up with my first bottle! 🙏🏽
