While I do not usually prefer my cocktails prefabricated, the Early Times Mint Julep mix provides a good basis for those who want the feel of tradition without the hassle.  This blend is also for who would like to create something a little unique.  While traditional gets one in the mood for a time honored event, sometimes we tire of the same thing after sipping a few.  Rather than give up on the tried and true Mint Julep after one or two, reach for the Early Times Mint Julep bottle to broaden the horizon and mix it up a little.

Early Times Peach Passion Mint Julep – created by The Intoxicologist

Ice

2 ounces Early Times Mint Julep

POM Wonderful Pomegranate Peach Passion White Tea

Fresh Mint Leaves for Garnish

Fill Collins glass with ice.  Pour in Early Times Mint Julep.  Top off with POM Pomegranate Peach Passion White Tea.  Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

This is simply delightful.  The flavor is minty fresh with a hint of whiskey in the background for character.  Sweetness does not overwhelm, but rather refreshes.  The only “problem” I foresee is sipping through this particular cocktail with frequency!
