If you're looking for a refreshing and unique cocktail to enjoy this summer, look no further than the Mint Chip cocktail. This delicious drink is a twist on the classic mint julep, with an added chocolatey kick that will have your taste buds singing.
Origins of the Mint Chip Cocktail
The origins of the Mint Chip cocktail can be traced back to the traditional mint julep, which has been enjoyed for centuries. The mint julep is a popular Southern drink made with bourbon, sugar, water, and fresh mint leaves. It's traditionally served in a silver or pewter cup filled with crushed ice.
To create the Mint Chip cocktail, mixologists decided to add a modern twist by incorporating chocolate flavors into the classic recipe. By adding crème de cacao or chocolate liqueur to the mix along with some shaved dark chocolate as garnish, they were able to create a decadent and indulgent version of this timeless favorite.

To make your own Mint Chip cocktail at home, you'll need just a few simple ingredients:
- 2 oz bourbon
- 1/2 oz crème de cacao or chocolate liqueur
- Fresh mint leaves

Start by muddling several fresh mint leaves in the bottom of a glass. Add ice cubes and pour in the bourbon and crème de cacao. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Top off your creation with some shaved dark chocolate for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve your Mint Chip cocktail in a chilled glass or over crushed ice for maximum refreshment. Garnish with additional fresh mint leaves if desired.
