KENTUCKY TEA JULEP

No Derby Party is complete without a Mint Julep and no Kentucky Tea Party should be without a Kentucky Tea Julep. We've teamed with our friends at Brown-Forman Distillers to bring you the best Kentucky has to offer - Kentucky Blend black tea with Woodford Reserve Bourbon and a splash of Tuaca. You're off to the races!


1 cup Kentucky Blend Tea, (brewed)

1 sprig fresh mint

Brew Kentucky Blend Tea according to label directions. Allow to cool to room temperature.
