THE THIN MINT JULEP

Live Beautifully

We Take A spring classic and Garnish It With Another

The Mint Julep has been a refreshing staple since it first emerged in the Southern United States during the 18th century. Crafted from a simple yet elegant blend of bourbon, sugar, mint, and crushed ice, it dazzles when served in a frosty silver cup. We like ours with bourbon, mint, simple syrup, and a rich, clear crème de cacao.


Constructed like traditional juleps, we pack the crushed ice generously into the silver mug until it becomes frosted on the outside. Then, for good measure and a whole lot of fun, we garnish the rim with a “knock on your door” Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookie.
