Mint Julep Margarita
Create a refreshing Mint Julep Margarita by mixing bourbon, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and mint leaves together. It's so good to serve during special occasions!
Ingredients
- 1 ounce bourbon
- 1 ounce tequila
- 1 ounce Triple Sec
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 20 pieces mint leaves
Instructions
- Muddle the lime and mint in the cocktail shaker.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the cocktail shaker, then give it a good shake.
- Strain the margarita mixture over fresh ice in the mint julep cup.
- Top with more crushed ice, then garnish with lots of mint. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Crushed ice is fantastic for this margarita cocktail as it can help dilute and mellow the drink out as it melts. You can create your own by putting ice cubes in between kitchen towels then using an ice mallet or meat tenderizer to crush the ice, or running a few of them at a time in the blender.
- To serve this drink frozen, put all the ingredients along with cups of ice into a blender, then blend well until you’re left with a slushy drink.
- For a stronger mint flavor, add more mint leaves to muddle.
