Alcohol Free Mint Julep Recipe
If you have the fortune to drink mint julep before, then first question will come to your mind that is it possible to make an alcohol-free mint julep and will it taste as good as the traditional drink.
Well, the honest answer is that it does not match the taste of alcoholic version but still it is a satisfying drink especially for the non-drinkers out there. They do not need to drink simple cola, juice or mineral water as they can please themselves with non-alcoholic version of classic mint julep.
Some people refer this traditional drink as a “cocktail” whereas the other school of thought count this in family of drinks called “smashes” as mint leaves and other ingredients are muddled during its preparation. This crushing exercise produces natural oil which ultimately enhances the true flavours of this drink.
This drink comprises essence of mint leaf, sugar, water and lemonade so it is perfect for summers.
