I love a good cleaned up recipe. What do I mean by that? I mean bright, bold flavors that sing without all the added artificial nonsense. Flavors, colors…these things should come from real ingredients! And while there is always a place at the table for a classic cocktail, I love twists on classics to change it up. This cocktail recipe is all of these things: bright, clean, bold and with a slight twist thanks to the Hibiscus Mint GoodPop!

Their famous Hibiscus Mint GoodPop is made in micro-batches with steeped Fair Trade Organic dried hibiscus flowers, organic mint and fresh lime juice. It’s a perfect compliment to this traditional + iconic drink.

I’ve ensured these not only boast an amazing flavor, but they are the definition of ease. I’ve replaced the simple syrup found in a traditional Mint Julep with a melted Hibiscus Mint GoodPop. Apart from that, you only need 4 other ingredients to assemble, plus a friend or loved one by your side to sip together.

Recipe yields 2 cocktails. Cheers, from my kitchen to yours!

Ingredients:

5 oz. Bourbon
1 large lemon
3 Hibiscus Mint GoodPops (1 melted, 2 frozen)
1 oz. water or sparkling water
Mint leaves for garnish

Method:

1.) Fill 2 lowball glasses with ice
2.) Melt 1 Hibiscus Mint GoodPop + divide between the two glasses
3.) Divide the bourbon between the two glasses + stir to combine
4.) Squeeze the juice from 1/2 lemon into each cocktail
5.) Top with 1/2 oz of still or sparkling water
6.) Add an additional Hibiscus Mint GoodPop and mint to garnish each Julep + enjoy!
