The only thing that could be better than a classic mint julep recipe is this recipe for a Cherry-Mint Julep. This recipe puts a delicious twist on the traditional Derby Day cocktail. A combination of cherry-flavored bourbon and mint simple syrup makes this an extraordinarily refreshing cocktail. You can make cherry bourbon yourself by allowing dry cherries to steep in a jar of bourbon for about a week. Once you taste this drink, you will agree that it is well worth the wait.

As someone who calls Kentucky my second home, I've learned to love mint juleps. This version looks amazing!
