Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups lemonade

  • Big handful fresh mint leaves
  • 2-3 drams Bourbon, vodka, or gin

Instructions

  • Blitz everything in a blender and serve immediately.

Notes

To serve without alcohol, simply leave it out of the mix.
A squeeze of lime juice added in is delicious too. Include that in addition to the lemonade.
Make fresh mint lemonade with your own mint syrup using my favorite recipe for that. This is simple and involves infusing simple syrup in a small saucepan with fresh mint leaves.
Another flavor explosion is to substitute the cucumber with the same amount of fresh pineapple for an unforgettable pineapple mint julep.
​Serve frozen mint juleps in classic silver julep cups or as I like to do, in clear glasses so the gorgeousness can shine through.
Go very Middle Eastern here and use licorice-flavored liqueurs such as arak or ouzo.
