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!
