Like the original, our julep features bourbon infused with mint. But this easy drink's signature sweetness is tempered by the tartness of blackberries, which also tint it a gorgeous shade of purple. Another twist: Our cocktail is blended with-rather than served over-ice, creating a slushy texture.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh blackberries.
