Giddy up, because it’s almost time for the most exciting two minutes in sports! 🐎

The Kentucky Derby is on Saturday, and as much as I adore a mint julep… I thought, why not make it a margarita?! This one was a BIG winner in our house — Cooper wanted seconds!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1.5 oz tequila

  • 1 oz bourbon

  • 1 oz orange liqueur

  • 1/2 lime juice

  • 1/2 oz agave

  • 3 fresh mint leaves

METHOD:

Give your mint a little smack to open up the flavor before adding to your cocktail shaker.

Then add tequila, bourbon, liqueur, lime juice and agave. Add ice, then shake until chilled.

Strain into glass filled with ice. Garnish with fresh mint, and enjoy.
