One of Disneyland’s most popular treats is their Mint Julep. You can get them from the Mint Julep bar in New Orleans Square, adjacent to the train station. They are great to enjoy with some apple fritters on a hot day (or any day, really)!
I, too, love the Disney Mint Julep, but after I was diagnosed with a corn intolerance, I couldn’t drink them anymore because they are made with corn syrup. So I had to get my fix at home! You can make these with a store bought non-alcoholic creme de menthe syrup, but I found it surprisingly simple to make my own mint syrup by just steeping mint leaves (found with the rest of the packaged herbs in the grocery store’s refrigerated section) in a homemade simple syrup mixture. This is a great drink in itself, or perfect for when you’re missing Disneyland and need a little bit of magic at home!
