Strawberry mint julep - 2 in silver mint julep cups with mint and strawberry garnish

Strawberry Mint Julep

Heather Wibbels
Heaven awaits with this easy twist on a classic mint julep with fresh muddled strawberry, mint, simple syrup, and bourbon in a Strawberry Mint Julep. And the best part: fishing out the bourbon-soaked muddled berries at the bottom of the julep cup after you finish the cocktail.

Notes

Strawberry Simple Syrup
