THE MINT JULEP MARTINI
Cloning a traditional Southern cocktail into a dessert

The Mint Julep Martini is my martini obsessed recipe for a classic cocktail - The Mint Julep. This traditional Southern cocktail consists of mint, bourbon, water and sugar and is beloved for cooling off in the humid heat of the South.
I added some White Crème de Menthe and cream and turned it into a dessert martini.
