Mint Blue Julep Recipe

Girls nights in are just as important as girls nights out. And, depending on what you have on hand, you can have just as much fun and accomplish a lot more.

Just last week, while my family was in Houston, I headed over to my sister’s house for a little girls night in. We were going to some crafting with her Silhouette machine, but we had to take a break because of a computer restart…always a fun time.

So, we took a forced break….a little drink (wine, if you are asking), a little snack (some root chips) and a show (Scandal…because Netflix binging is real!) (For the hubby and I, we’ve been watching Fixer Upper and we are pretty much addicted and want to make all the renovations to our house!)

Back to the girls night…we sat and chilled on the couch while watching and it was great. We had time to talk and discuss the show and then got to crafting later.

I didn’t think to bring my own wine, but next time I will and I’ll be making this recipe. It sounds perfect for a hot day at home and a refreshing drink!

If you are looking for one that is alcohol-free, check out my blueberry mint mock-jito for a girls night in with the girls while watching a show like Fuller House! (you know you are excited)
