Sparkling Mint Julep w/ SHAKE


Sparkling Mint Julep 🐎 (Kentucky Derby Special)

Ingredients

  • 3 oz Spiritless Kentucky 74 (non-alcoholic bourbon alternative)

  • 0.5 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)

  • 8 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish

  • Crushed ice

  • 2-3 dropper full of SHAKE Infused Edible Glitter (for extra flair)

  • 2-3 dropper full of SHAKE Infused Edible Glitter (for extra flair)

  • Optional: splash of soda water for a lighter twist

Directions

  1. Muddle Mint: In a collins or tall glass, gently muddle the mint leaves with simple syrup to release the oils. Don’t over-muddle—just a few presses will do.

  2. Pour in the Spiritless Kentucky 74 and stir gently to combine.

  3. Drop in a full dropper of SHAKE (one of each color) Infused Edible Glitter and stir again. Watch the shimmer swirl!

  4. Fill the cup with crushed ice and give it a stir until the glass frosts over.

  5. Garnish with a sprig of mint (give it a clap between your hands to release the aroma). Serve with a straw and a smile.
