What interesting garnishes will you add to your cocktail?

Blanca Julep

This lime-juice-infused drink was crafted for Kentucky Derby gatherings, but it will fit in perfectly at your next summer shindig. The tones of mint and lime are refreshing in warm weather, and cutting the bourbon with club soda minimizes the taste of alcohol for those that do not care for strong drinks. Food and Wine has the Blanca Julep recipe in its entirety.

In addition to mint leaves, learn how to make a spiral lemon garnish for the rim.
