Sparkling Mint Julep

5 minutes | Yield: 1 cocktail

Skip that regular glass of bubbles and try our revamp of a classic cocktail recipe. You’ll want to sip on these every day, whether it's Christmas, New Years, or Thursday.

Ingredients

  • 6 Fresh Mint Leaves + more for garnish
  • 1 tsp. Sugar
  • 3 ounces Brut Champagne, chilled
  • 1/2 ounce Bourbon, chilled
  • 1 dash Angostura Bitters
  • Lemon Twist, garnish

Directions

  1. Pour sugar into the bottom of a champagne glass.
  2. Add chilled champagne, bourbon and a dash of bitters.
  3. Slap fresh mint leaves against your hand to wake up the herb’s essence. Garnish champagne glass with fresh mint and a lemon twist. Enjoy immediately.

We like to keep the bourbon in the freezer (therefore ice is not needed in this recipe).
