Minnesota’s Famous Refreshing Mint Cocktail

ByLisa Marinkovich

I’m excited to share a refreshing twist on a classic cocktail that’s ideal for Summer. It’s the Minnesota signature mint cocktail. In this post I will share the famous Minnesota refreshing mint cocktail recipe perfect for any occasion.

Recently, I hosted a Kentucky Derby party and after treating my friends to a delicious mint julep recipe, we decided to switch things up and make our signature cocktail using a recipe I received from my friend Lenea, who hails from Minnesota.

Lenea described this cocktail as minty yet light and refreshing, making it an ideal choice for a party of women who prefer drinks that aren’t overly sweet or bitter. With fresh citrus flavors, a hint of mint, and the perfect balance of ingredients, this cocktail is sure to become a favorite at your gatherings too. Let’s dive into how to create this delightful and crowd-pleasing beverage!

The Origin Of This Bootleg Cocktail

The Bootleg Cocktail, often associated with Minnesota, has a fascinating history rooted in the state’s Prohibition-era past. During the Prohibition period from 1920 to 1933, the production and sale of alcoholic beverages were banned in the United States. However, this didn’t stop people from finding ways to enjoy their favorite drinks.
