Looking to sip on something “summery?” You have to try this Strawberry Lemonade Mint Julep! It’s this summer’s hottest drink! Featuring lime, strawberries, mint and bourbon topped with Heinen’s lemonade, this cocktail is perfect for Derby Day or any warm weather occasion.
It’s just as easy to make as it is to drink! Simply add the strawberries, lime wedges, mint leaves and bourbon to a jar with a lid and muddle with the back of spoon. Muddling the berries and mint into the bourbon creates the most delicious flavor infusion. Secure the lid on the jar and shake for 15 seconds. Pour the cocktail into a glass over fresh-crushed ice, add a strawberry sliver and fresh mint leaves to the top for aromatics and enjoy!
