When we found out the guys at Park Slope, Brooklyn's Pork Slope bar were teaming up with the Kelvin Natural Slush company to offer a Mint Julep Kelvin Slushie for Derby Day, of course we had to make it a priority to get the recipe.
Though there's nothing like a traditional Mint Julep, a frozen-slushie take on the classic bourbon and mint cocktail is a pretty badass--okay, maybe not quite badass, but definitely fun--way to toast the Run for the Roses.
Though the drink that Pork Slope is offering relies on a natural mix created by the Kelvin company, John Bush--the beverage director at Brooklyn's Pork Slope, Talde, and Thistle Hill restaurants--kindly shared his recipe for this Mint Julep Slushie, which is inspired by the version served at Pork Slope. Give it a try and let us know what you think in the comments!
