🥃🌿 It's National Mint Julep Day!
Sure, the Derby came and went weeks ago, but we're never going to complain about having another excuse to enjoy one of the most iconic Bourbon cocktails around.
If you're mixing up a Mint Julep today and need a recommendation, here are 5 picks worth reaching for and why we love them:
🥃 Wolcott Ready-to-Serve Mint Julep
Want the easiest Mint Julep possible? Just pour over ice and enjoy. No muddling, no measuring, no cleanup.
🏇 Woodford Reserve Bourbon
The longtime official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby is practically made for Mint Juleps. Bonus points if you spot one of the final 2026 Derby bottles still hanging around.
🥃 Bondstone Double Oak Bourbon
Double-barreled aging brings extra layers of caramel, cinnamon, and oak, while the high rye mash bill adds a spicy kick that plays perfectly with fresh mint. If you like a Mint Julep with a little more richness and complexity, this is the bottle to reach for.
🔥 Still Austin Whiskey Co. Cask Strength Bourbon
Crushed ice can mellow a cocktail quickly. A bold cask-strength Bourbon keeps its character from first sip to last, delivering big flavor the whole way through.
🌾 Wolcott Bourbon
Vanilla, caramel, rye spice, and a touch of fruit create a Mint Julep that's bright, balanced, and a little more adventurous than the traditional route.
