Champagne Julep

Bright, mint-forward and effervescent, the Champagne Julep pairs the warm, oaky depth of bourbon with crisp sparkling wine and a whisper of sugar. It pours pale-golden and fizzy in a tall glass, crowned with fragrant mint, a refreshing, celebratory twist on a classic julep worth ordering for light, bubbly complexity.
