How to Make a Mint Julep Cocktail

Mint Julep cocktail with fresh mint, lime, and ice in clear glasses.

This Mint Julep Cocktail is a non alcoholic version, but you could add a shot of rum to it. Or give us some of your ideas to power up this cocktail?

I like Mint Juleps as they aren’t too sweet (many cocktails are just a sheer sugar overload!) and it is really refreshing in the heat.  If you are like me and don’t want a really sweet cocktail – just cut back the sugar in the syrup – easy!
