Ginger-Mint Julep
When we think of springtime favorite Derby parties, we think of this Ginger-Mint Julep cocktail. This slightly spicier version of the refreshing icon Mint Julep only uses five ingredients and is easy enough to throw together in no time for a crowd of friends and family. It is so good, in fact, that even bourbon haters will be hard-pressed to find a reason not to enjoy this easy sipper as temps begin to rise. For best results, we recommend using a high-proof bourbon (preferably from Kentucky to stay on theme!) that will help keep the cocktail from becoming watered down as the ice melts.
Instead of using a ginger beer variation in this cocktail recipe, we opted for the Xoca's Ginger Cacao Fruit Soda, a prebiotic soda powered by the natural goodness of cacao fruit! This soda is the first of its kind and delicious as a standalone healthy beverage or used as a mixer for cocktails and mocktails - we especially love the extra flavor punch in this recipe. Xoca is the brainchild of a small group of cacao enthusiasts with extremely different backgrounds, who together are bounded by a commitment to pure and simple foods that honor land, people, and the creative process.
