10 MINT JULEP RECIPES FOR THE KENTUCKY DERBY

  • The Classic Mint Julep. The classic recipe for a mint julep is straightforward, and it has a refreshing taste you won't find in any other cocktail. Quite simply, it's a shot of your favorite bourbon poured over muddled mint and sugar, then topped with crushed ice.
  • Whiskey Smash. As classic as the mint julep, the whiskey smash is nearly the same drink. It dates back to at least the 1880s and is one of the most refreshing smash drinks you can mix up.
  • Brandy Smash. Though whiskey is essential to a mint julep, it's not the spirit of choice for everyone. If brandy is more your style, break with Derby Day tradition and mix up a brandy smash.
  • White Peach Julep. It's time to get peachy! The white peach julep recipe is a fun and simple twist on the original. Though white peaches are not always available, any peach will do for this drink.
  • The Ginger Julep ’68 Fastback. When you have a big, bold bourbon, you don't have to worry about it getting lost in any julep. The whiskey becomes even more daring when you add the snappy spice of fresh ginger to it.
  • Whiskey Cider Julep. The mint julep should not be reserved for that one Saturday in May because it's fantastic at any time of year. And yet, a recipe like the whiskey cider julep is a better fit for autumn.
  • Eye Candy. Inspired by the gin smash, the eye candy will surely tantalize your taste buds. This modern creation is filled with fresh flavors and is perfect for the spring season.
  • Pot of Gold. There's also a muddled mint cocktail for vodka lovers. While the pot of gold is served martini-style, it can do just as well on the rocks.
  • Combier Royal Smash. The Combier royal smash is another non-whiskey alternative, and it's probably the easiest of the lot. It features the delightfully sweet flavor of Royal Combier, an orange liqueur that can quickly become a new staple in your bar.
  • Peach Julep Ice Pop. A fun treat that every adult at your Derby party will enjoy, these peach julep ice pops are fun to make. The recipe combines fresh mint with peach juice and the bourbon of your choice.
