Sweet honey and herbaceous basil meld together with soft vanilla and oak flavors this refreshingly carbonated beer-inspired twist on the classic Mint Julep.
The inspiration for the unique cocktail is Bison's Organic Honey Basil Ale — a artisanly crafted beer brewed with fresh whole leaf basil and raw organic honey.
