Watermelon Mint Julep is a delicious blend of fresh watermelon, mint, and bourbon. It makes a refreshingly sweet summer cocktail and is the perfect way to get your weekend started.

 
There’s nothing more refreshing than watermelon and this Watermelon Mint Julep has plenty of watermelon flavor.
To make Watermelon Mint Juleps, first make a mint infused simple syrup. This can be made a few days ahead of time and refrigerated. Let the simple syrup cool and then mix with watermelon that has been processed in a blender until smooth and bourbon.

 
Pour into glasses filled with ice and top the glasses off with a little club soda. The club soda adds a few bubbles and makes these Watermelon Mint Juleps even more refreshing.
Garnish with some fresh mint leaves and a fresh slice of watermelon. For bourbon, Maker’s Mark is my go to, but there are so many good ones available. I also like Knob Creek and Four Roses.
