For an extra burst of flavor, muddle a few fresh mint leaves directly in the bottom of each glass before adding the ice. Adjust the amount of mint syrup to your liking, depending on how strong you prefer the mint flavor. Feel free to experiment with different types of lemonade, such as pink lemonade or strawberry lemonade, for a unique twist. For a sweeter drink, add a touch more sugar to the simple syrup. Chill the glasses in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes before serving to keep your juleps extra cold.

Feb 9, 2025I found that muddling the mint slightly before adding it to the syrup really intensifies the mint flavor. Just be careful not to over-muddle!
