![]() However they were real messy, and the fact they don’t come with dipping sauces here is a negative. I really liked the Blackberry Beignets, I thought the Mickey shape was incredibly cute, and the blackberry sugar added a nice flavor and mixed it up a bit from the originals. Overall I thought my experience at the Mint Julep bar was great. It was the perfect drink for a hot day and I’d highly recommend it. I thought strangely that the mint flavor mixed well with the beignets and I now realize why they are put together. And the lime flavor really balanced it out. It wasn’t a strong mint taste, but very subtle. It was really, really light and refreshing. My whole mouth was stained a beautiful purple for some hours afterwards and my wife had a good time making fun of me later in the day, so make sure your family eats them with you so they can’t make fun of you later! Having white shorts on that day wasn’t exactly the smartest idea, so use caution. I wasn’t able to get a photo of my hands for you because I was alone and my hands were absolutely covered in blackberry powder. One word of caution I have for you is that they are VERY MESSY. I don’t think that’s usually the case, but today it was for some reason.Īlso the Beignets from the Mint Julep Bar don’t come with the dipping sauces found at Cafe Orleans which was disappointing, not so much for these Blackberry Beignets because they have flavor, but for the normal ones I would need the sauces! C’mon Mint Julep Bar!! I prefer them like at Cafe Orleans, a bit denser. Since we had just eaten there the night before I though the texture would be a little denser, but these were lighter.

Patrick’s Day Green Sangria White Hot Chocolate and Homemade Heart Marshmallows If you try this drink, let me know how you like it. Stick pineapple and cherries on a toothpick and insert into glass. Pour chilled syrup into serving glass and then add cold water (3 parts syrup to 5 parts water) and stir. Let cool and then place in fridge to chill. Heat to a rolling boil until sugar dissolves. Garnish with: fresh mint leaves, pineapple chunks and maraschino cherries Pour 3 cups club soda into a medium-sized pot. I should have gotten one years ago! Now… enough gushing on the macro lens, let’s talk about how to serve this drink up! Ingredients: 3 cups club sodaĦ ounces frozen lemonade, thawed (do not dilute with water)Ħ tablespoons Creme de Menthe syrup (found near coffee syrups/flavorings or by ice cream cones/toppings) ![]() I am now an official owner of a MACRO lens and I love it! So easy to use and such a game changer when it comes to detail shots for photos. ![]() But, it is so DARN good anyway! So, are these photos making you thirsty? And, if you have noticed a difference in my close up photos, it is all thanks to a new piece of glass that Brian bought me. OH, and… just to make it clear… this is Disney’s spin on a mint julep and NO, it does not taste anything like a real mint julep. So, I told Brian that we need to plan a trip to Disneyland JUST to try this drink… plus, I am 37 and I’ve been to Disney World more times then I can count and I’ve never been to California or Disneyland. Unfortunately, they do NOT serve this drink at Disney World… which is where we are heading. It is that time again to share a fun drink with y’all on the blog! Everyone has been talking about Mint Julep’s and the Kentucky Derby lately (which, is totally on my bucket list) and I thought since we have a Disney trip coming up… I would do a copy cat version of Disney’s mint julep drink! Now, of course this drink is non-alcoholic, so it’d be a fun one to share with the kids to celebrate the Kentucky Derby at home… AND, it is actually a real drink that they serve up at Disneyland (see HERE) at the Mint Julep Bar in New Orleans Square. ![]()
