Blackberry-Mint Julep
0
Bourbon blended with blackberries, mint and sugar over ice into a cold, slushy julep. Sweet-tart berry up front, with cool mint and the warmth of bourbon behind it.
The Blackberry-Mint Julep is a julep variation built on mint-infused bourbon. Blackberries add tartness against the sweetness and turn the drink purple, and, unlike a traditional julep, it is blended with ice to a slushy texture.
