Cre Julep

Many of you have tried our inexplicably alluring Cre, but have you tried it in a bourbon cocktail? We think this riff on the classic Mint Julep is the perfect way to enjoy this bright green beauty.

1 sugar cube

5 mint leaves, plus more for garnish

1/2 oz Cre

2 oz bourbon

Add a sugar cube and mint leaves to a mixing glass.

crejulep-3-300x200-1

Measure 3/4 oz Cre.

crejulep-4-300x200-1

Add to glass.

crejulep-5-300x200-1

Muddle by gently pressing and twisting to dissolve the sugar and release the oils of the mint.

Measure 2 oz bourbon.

crejulep-7-300x200-1

Add to glass. Stir.

crejulep-8-300x200-1
