Kentucky Derby cocktails in a cinch!
Crushed or pebble ice is the star of this build-in-the-glass libation. Your bourbon infused Camp Simple (strained) goes into the highball glass or mint julep cup, right before heaping the ice on top, snow cone fashion. Warning, the horses may be lightning fast, but you would do well to sip slowly.
This Cocktail is created by infusing the Camp Mint Simple Syrup Kit with Bourbon instead of water.
