Welcome to the first post of a new blog of one of Las Vegas’s finest “Cocktail Engineers”, Robert Erhart Jr.
If the Kentucky Derby went by too fast for you and you wish you were still enjoying a mint julep while wearing some fashionable hat then this drink might be able to get you by until the next Run for the Roses. The Kentucky Mint Cooler. A very easy to make (no need to muddle mint leaves) and even easier to drink mint cooler..
The Recipe:
4-5 leaves mint
2 1/2 oz. bourbon
1/2 oz. green creme de menth
1/2 oz. rock candy syrup
top with ginger ale

hey… thats one sexy tester..
delicious and refreshing! The mint was not too overwhelming and the bourbon was smooth. Kentucky Derby or not, this would still make a great summer drink!
Looks good, but where’s the picture of the green tongue afterward? Oh, I have those same glasses. Simple and sweet style. I’m lookin’ forward to the next drink.
