Your Daily Dish: Irish Mint Julep Cocktail

An Irishman and a Southern belle walk into a bar. Wish we had more to the joke, but all we’ve got is a delicious Irish twist on a Southern classic – whiskey replaces bourbon in this minty fresh Julep.

Ingredients

4 mint leaves
1tsp sugar
2 tsp water
Ice
1½oz Irish whiskey
¼oz Crème de Menthe

Mint sprigs, for garnish

Directions

1. In a tall glass, muddle the mint leaves with the sugar and water. Fill the glass with ice and pour whiskey and crème de menthe over the ice. Garnish with mint sprigs

Serves 1
