In the mix:
10-15 mint leaves, muddled
½ oz. simple syrup
3 oz. Barbadillo Pale Cream sherry
Top with cava

"Pale cream sherry is sweeter and lighter than dark sherry — this is super summery and refreshing," bar manager Courtney Bissonnette said. "And people love the word 'julep.'"

Bottom line: Sherry for summer might sound strange, but this unique cocktail goes down smoothly.

Or try: Julio's Creamsicle ($9) is a grown-up twist on the orange julius, featuring Bols Advocaat Dutch egg liqueur.
