People often associate Juleps with the Kentucky Derby, but you can enjoy this energizing cocktail all summer long. This juicy take on the classic Julep from Lynette Marrero is colored using peach slices and features a foamy head from the IPA syrup.
The hoppy flavor of the IPA syrup is balanced by the sweetness of the peaches and the bourbon. To really enjoy this summertime Peach Beer Julep cocktail, serve it in a Julep cup mounded with crushed ice. This will help keep the drink cold and prevent it from getting watered down.
