Thin Mint Julep Recipe

Advanced Mixology
Brown Derby Cocktail
5 minutes
To truly savor the flavor of your favorite Girl Scout cookies all year round, try this take on the classic Mint Julep. With a base of crisp mint and smooth bourbon, this cocktail is perfectly complemented by rich white crème de cacao and topped off with a Thin Mint cookie for an added burst of chocolatey sweetness.
This drink is similar to traditional juleps in its construction, with crushed ice packed generously into the silver mug until the vessel is frosted on the outside. The pièce de résistance in this cocktail is the Thin Mint cookie—adding a sweet and crunchy feeling that makes a tasty snack in between sips.
While this recipe might stray from the classic formula of a julep, it still remains true to the spirit of this iconic cocktail.
