I am a huge fan of Maker’s Mark bourbon and a member of their ambassadors club, The Maker’s Mark Embassy. Every now and again, they have mailings about what’s going on with the company and sometimes you even get free stuff. The just recently sent a recipe for a Watermelon Mint Julep. I couldn’t pass up on posting this. Enjoy!

• 2 oz. watermelon puree
• 1 oz. Maker’s Mark Bourbon
• 1 oz. citrus simple syrup
  (Combine 1 cup mint leaves, 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup of lemon juice. Boil until sugar is dissolved.)
• 1/2 oz. peach schnapps
• Mint sprig for garnish

In a cocktail shaker, combine watermelon puree, Maker’s Mark, simple syrup and peach schnapps. Shake well and pour over crushed ice. Garnish with mint sprig.
