Ingredients

10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
2 ounces Freshly squeezed orange juice
2 ounces Freshly squeezed tangerine juice
2 ounces Bourbon

Step 1

In a sturdy glass or julep cup, gently muddle the mint leaves together with the granulated sugar using a muddler or the back of a spoon. This releases the mint's natural oils and blends it with the sugar.

Add the freshly squeezed orange juice, tangerine juice, and bourbon to the glass.

Step 3

Fill the glass with crushed ice, leaving a small amount of room at the top.

Step 4

Stir the mixture gently using a bar spoon to combine and chill the ingredients.

Step 5

Garnish the julep with an orange slice, a tangerine wedge, and a sprig of fresh mint for a vibrant presentation.

Step 6

Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your Orange Tangerine Mint Julep!
