Today Mocktail Monday brings you this easy non-alcoholic version of your favorite Mint Julep cocktail. I’m doing my best to whittle down all the fabulous cocktail recipes out there & working on mocktail versions of them to share here. The hub’s old bartender recipe box is enough to keep me busy that’s for sure. But given the spring like temps & my mind is already in summer mode – I had to make this Mint Julep Mocktail for you all. It will certainly keep you cool & refreshed through the hot months. I’m so drawn to that gorgeous color, the crisp hint of mint & the fact that it’s a mocktail means I can not only have it any time of day – but I can also share with the kiddos if I so choose. Let me show you just how easy it is to make.
Now – I always keep a jar of my simple lemon syrup on hand in the fridge for those moments when I just need a hint of sweet lemon flavor added to my recipes. I strongly encourage you to do the same. It’s great with so many things.
Mint Julep Mocktail : Mocktail Monday
Ingredients
- *Makes 2 low ball glasses
- 2 ounces simple syrup
- 1 ounce lemon juice (or you can make my Simple Lemon Syrup
- 2 sprigs fresh mint + more for garnish
- 8 ounces ginger ale
Instructions
- Pour lemon simple syrup (or lemon juice & simple syrup) in a small glass with the mint sprigs & muddle well
- Refrigerate this muddled mint mixture for 30-60 minutes to infuse the mint flavor into the syrup
- Fill low ball glass with ice
- Pour 1.5 ounces of your mint/lemon mixture into each glass
- Top with ginger ale to fill
- Garnish with additional mint
- *Note- you can strain out the larger pieces of mint when pouring into your glasses - I liked the tiny pieces of green color in my drink - so I wasn't too careful about getting it all out.

I love minty cocktails like a mojito or mint julep at this time of year! Since this is a “mocktail,” I can even enjoy it in the afternoon when it’s just a WEE bit too early for happy hour! 🙂 Pinned!
