About
This Mint Julep riff comes from Barlow Gilmore (@theweekendmixologist). In this version, Gilmore made it lighter and more refreshing than the original. The soda water was a nice touch too, giving it an airy lift that plays well with the chocolate-mint combo. The name sums the flavors up perfectly.Cheers y’all!
