When you host a party for friends and family, it's always fun to have a special cocktail for the event; something to go along with the theme of the party. And, it doesn't always have to be an alcoholic drink. Just a fun, signature mocktail for the evening! So, if you are planning a get together to watch the Kentucky Derby, the drink of the evening should be a Southern one.
Mint Julep Mocktails are fizzy and lemony.
Such a refreshing non-alcoholic drink that is refreshing with all the fresh mint!
Just perfect for sipping on while watching the horses!
Yep, it's Southern too!
Mint Julep Mocktails would really be good on a warm summer day.
Anytime you want something refreshing and alcohol free.
