Derby Darling - The Mint Julep

Today would have been the Kentucky Derby 🐴 and in honor of Derby Day, I’m sipping on a classic Mint Julep which is honestly one of my favorite drinks! They are super easy to make and are addictive. Here’s the recipe from @foodnetwork: Place the mint leaves in the bottom of an old-fashioned glass and top with the sugar. Muddle these together until the leaves begin to break down. Add a splash of seltzer water, fill the glass 3/4 full with crushed ice, and add the bourbon. Top with another splash of seltzer, stir, and garnish with a sprig of mint. Cheers to the weekend!! 🥃🥃
