Is there anything more refreshing than a sweet, minty, lemon-lime drink on a hot day? This non-alcoholic mint julep is perfect for just that!

It is already getting warm here in New Mexico and this drink is perfect for a quick pick me up during the day! All the flavors combine to form a delicious drink that is hard to put down! Plus drinking it reminds me of my trips to Disneyland and that just makes everything more fun!

Copycat Disneyland Mint Julep

Growing up in northern California, my family would take a trip to Disneyland every couple of years. Actually, they still do and I usually try to find a way to go too! We love the park and have so many wonderful memories there. One of our favorite, it’s-a-hot-day-let’s-take-a-rest places is the New Orleans Square where we get yummy mickey shaped beignets and refreshing mint juleps!

So, I pretty much had to recreate these amazing drinks! If I ever get ambitious enough to try making beignets I’ll share that with you too, but for now we will have to be content with my inspired mint julep recipe, and that’s not hard at all!

This drink is perfect for a fun dinner, or just to keep in the fridge for when you want a cool refreshing drink. Even if you’ve never been to Disneyland, you won’t want to miss this! Give this sweet delicious drink a try and let me know how you like it!

How to make a Mint Julep:

  1. First you need to make or buy Crème de Menthe Syrup. I decided to make mine because it is really simple and I couldn’t find any non-alcoholic crème de menthe syrup recipes online, so I wanted to share one with you!
  2. Once the Crème de Menthe Syrup is made, make a different simple syrup with all the Mint Julep ingredients.
  3. Then mix 1 part Mint Julep Simple Syrup with 5 parts water. Meaning 1 cup syrup to every 5 cups water. I love this drink even more when I use some carbonated water in addition to regular water!
  4. Add lots of ice to make it nice and cool.
  5. Garnish with some lemon slices and mint leaves.
  6. Enjoy!

It really is a simple and delicious drink! Both the Crème de Menthe simple syrup and the Mint Julep simple syrup will last a while if stored in an airtight container. I would refrigerate the Mint Julep Syrup, but the Crème de Menth should be fine stored in a cool place.

I hope you enjoy this drink as much as I do! It sure brings back lots of wonderful memories of fun with my family! Have you ever been to Disneyland? What is your favorite treat from the park? I’d love to know! Leave me a comment below!

Notes

*You can buy Crème de Menthe syrup from your grocery store if you don’t want to make it. It is found near the alcohol/liquor section. Just make sure to buy a non-alcoholic version for this recipe. *I like to use club soda for half of my water because I love the carbonation, but it isn’t necessary for the drink. *This drink is extra refreshing if it’s nice and cold so I like to add lots of ice!
There are many recipes for a copycat mint julep online and we all use similar ingredients but have different ratios! I got inspiration from several recipes and then decided to make my own, with my own homemade creme de menthe syrup and my own ingredient amounts. Hope you like my version of this Disney inspired classic!

    This looks so refreshing! I love a good mint julep, but I can’t drink bourbon so I am totally in love with this idea! Plus I love to serve non-alcoholic drinks at parties so everyone can have some.

      Its 5 cups of each- you can use just plain water for a total of 10 cups of water but I like to use 5 cups of club soda for some carbonation.
