Havana Beverages Introduces the Easy Mint Julep

-- Only two ingredients needed for classic American cocktail --

Louisville, KY, April 7, 2008 – Spring in Kentucky brings beautiful dogwood trees in bloom, the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs and Kentucky Mint Juleps. A southern tradition and classic American bourbon cocktail, the Mint Julep is enjoyed at parties nationwide in the Spring.

To help make hosting the party a little easier and a lot more fun, Havana Beverages, based in Louisville, Kentucky, introduces The Easy Mint Julep -- a delicious, refreshing and fun cocktail made with just two ingredients:

The Easy Mint Julep
1 part Woodford Reserve Bourbon
3 parts Havana Mojito

Havana Mojito is a naturally flavored soft drink designed to resemble the flavor of the mojito, a classic Cuban cocktail, minus the rum. The drink is a premium soda product that features mint and key lime and is sweetened with pure cane sugar, rather than the high-fructose corn syrup used in popular American soft drinks. Havana Mojito is recognized by leading beverage industry expert BevNet as a great tasting product and was named a finalist in the 2007 New Products Showcase Awards at Natural Products Expo East.

So grab a chilled julep cup, pour and enjoy the party. See more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS0u3M-up5U.
