Servings: 2 cocktails
Calories: 194cal
Equipment
Ingredients
- Handful of mint
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 4 ounces bourbon or whiskey
- Ice
- 8 ounces champagne 6-8 oz champagne
Instructions
- Place mint in the bottom of your cocktail shaker and muddle.
- Add ice and bourbon. Shake well until fully chilled, about 1 minute.
- Strain and pour into two champagne flutes.
- Top with champagne and additional mint for garnish.
Notes
- Use your favorite type of champagne here. We like to grab the mini bottles which are the perfect serving size for two cocktails but go with a full bottle if you have a larger crowd. Feel free to substitute with prosecco or sparkling wine. If you want the bubbly without the alcohol, try club soda or Sprite.
- If you want to get fancy with it, pick up some Woodford Reserve, which is the official bourbon used in mint juleps at the Kentucky Derby. Any brand will do the trick, however!
- You could substitute the sugar with simple syrup or opt to leave out the sugar for an overall stronger cocktail.
