On the Big Cypress Reservation in Florida, the Seminole Indians grow and sell Bearss lemons. Bright yellow and extremely juicy, they provided the inspiration for this cocktail after fighting a cold with a hot toddy mix.
A cross between a mint julep, whiskey sour and hot toddy, this drink is a great counter to a garlic infused dinner or simply to enjoy on a warm summer day. Be sure to use a quality bourbon such as Maker’s Mark or Larceny
4 large mint leaves
¼ lemon, peeled (save peel for garnish)
Dash cardamom bitters
1 oz simple syrup
