This Fall Inspired Orange Caramel Mint Julep is definitely a must try!
(Ad) The Mint Julep is a Southern Cocktail Tradition. It’s usually consists of bourbon, sugar, water, crushed or shaved ice, and fresh mint.
The Mint Julep’s moment to shine is typically during Kentucky’s most popular race!
But because of this year’s current world climate and the Pandemic, the race has been postponed until September.
