You could alternatively just use mint extract, since this recipe is already pretty sweet. I removed it from the heat and added a couple teaspoons mint extract, to taste.

Instead, I made a quick mint simple syrup by boiling equal parts water and sugar (1 cup each), then simmering until it had a thick, syrup-like consistency. For the full Blue Bayou experience, try serving these mint juleps alongside our Easy Beignets recipe or our Monte Cristo Sliders.ĭo I need creme de menthe syrup to make Disney mint juleps? While the official Disneyland recipe calls for a creme de menthe syrup, I could not find it locally and the cost of ordering online was too hefty for me – especially considering I only needed a couple teaspoons. This recipe makes a full pitcher, so you can offer unlimited refills, just like they do at Blue Bayou. The flavor is like a mint lemonade with a gentle hint of lime – sweet, tart, satisfying and so refreshing. While I can’t magically transport myself there to feel the hot Florida sun as we laze about on the green crowd-watching while having our standard first Disney meal of corn dog nuggets and fries – I can bring a bit of the parks home with this super simple, spot-on Disney Mint Julep recipe!ĭisney’s (virgin) Mint Juleps were originally only available at Disneyland in New Orleans Square (and are one of our Top 12 Disneyland Eats) but on our last DisneyWorld trip, they had just debuted at Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom – and since then they’ve introduced a frozen slushie version, too, that I can’t wait to try for myself!

We usually head to the parks at least twice a year and with our border still being closed a year into the pandemic… I am going through some serious Disney withdrawals. Clearly my father’s taste in Disney snackage was hereditarily passed down to me.A delicious copycat version of one of our favorite Disneyland treats, this Refreshing Mint Julep Lemonade is the perfect way to bring a bit of the parks home – whether you’re enjoying them for a Disney movie night or as a way to beat the summer heat. One of my fondest memories of our vacations in Disneyland was stopping by the Disneyland mint julep bar to grab the iconic Disney mint julep. However, there were a few exceptions, as my Dad had a few favorite items he would never pass up…The Dole Whip, The Mickey Ice Cream dipped in chocolate, and best of all, the Disneyland Mint Julep. My father, the ever thrifty man that he was, refused to pay the over-priced theme park food. My family typically wouldn’t eat inside the park for meals. (Just kidding, I love you Kim!) I guess it goes to show that Disneyland really is the Happiest Place On Earth! It was the one time in our childhood where I don’t think my sister and I were fighting with each other. I have such fond memories of my trips to the park…the rides, the fantastic shows, and time spent with my family. Growing up in Northern California, my family spent many family vacations enjoyed at Disneyland. The Disneyland Mint Julep, Sweet Memories
