Mint Julep Margarita is a fun twist on two classic cocktails. The mint julep is a traditional Kentucky Derby drink that is made with bourbon, mint, and sugar. The margarita, on the other hand, is a popular Mexican cocktail made with tequila and citrus. The combination of these two drinks creates a unique and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for summer. Serve it at your next party or enjoy it with friends on a hot summer day.

Instructions

1.	Place lime wedges, mint leaves, and superfine sugar into a shaker.
2.	Muddle the ingredients together until the limes release their juice and the mint is fragrant.

4.	Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice.
5.	Add seltzer water into the glass and garnish with the reserved lime wedge.
