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
- 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.
- Pour in the Spiritless Kentucky 74 and stir gently to combine.
- Drop in a full dropper of SHAKE (one of each color) Infused Edible Glitter and stir again. Watch the shimmer swirl!
- Fill the cup with crushed ice and give it a stir until the glass frosts over.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint (give it a clap between your hands to release the aroma). Serve with a straw and a smile.
