In honor of the Kentucky Derby tomorrow, I thought I’d share my simple twist on the traditional Mint Julep.

Just mix equal parts lemonade (for a bit of sweetness) and seltzer, plus a shot of bourbon, over ice. Garnish with a lemon slice and a sprig of mint! 

For a strawberry version, try last year’s recipe. Enjoy! and may the best horse win…
