Duplin Mint Julep
Good bourbon and plenty of crushed ice are the keys to a great mint julep, but the quintessential Kentucky Derby cocktail can pack a punch. We added fizzy Duplin Sweet Lily white wine to lighten up this Southern classic.
Ingredients:
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 4 ounces bourbon whiskey
- 2 cups crushed ice
- Duplin Sweet Lily sparkling white wine
- Mint sprigs for garnish
Directions:
- Place 3 mint leaves in each of 2 rocks or high ball glasses.
- Add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar to each glass.
- Muddle the mint and the brown sugar.
- Pour 2 ounces of bourbon into each glass.
- Pack crushed ice in to the glasses.
- Fill glasses to the rim with Duplin Sweet Lily.
- Garnish each glass with a bunch of fresh mint springs.
- Makes 2 servings.
