Ginger Julep
MAXIME IATTONI

A hit of ginger liqueur takes the traditional Mint Julep and turns it squarely on its ear: spicy, sweet, and modern, with a citrus tang from the wedge of lemon, it's a fresh twist on the old classic.

Ingredients

  • 2 sprigs of mint
  • 2 oz. bourbon
  • 1 oz. Ginger liqueur, like Domaine de Canton
  • ½ oz. lemon juice, from about ½ lemon
  • ½ simple syrup

Instructions

Step 1

Garnish with lemon wedge, or mint.
