Almost nothing says "summer in the South" than a yummy, chilled julep. However, the sugar that gets added to most mint julep recipes is typically refined, and not in the way that means "Southern elegance."

Cheers to Lipton Iced Tea, who ponied up with Eron Plevan, head mixologist at Louisville's Gold Bar, to create this modern, better-for-you twist on the classic julep recipe. This recipe looks to honey-not sugar-for its sweet character. Plus, if you drop in a generous scoop of the crushed ice this calls for, you can dial back a little extra on the iced tea's 18 grams of sugar, too.

This drink also goes about a quarter lighter on liquor than a lot of juleps do, which might make this a friendly choice to someone who's just finding out whether they're besties with bourbon.

Serves 1

You'll Need

1.5 ounce bourbon

Honey

Lipton Herbal Orange Blossom Iced Tea

2 orange slices

6 mint leaves

How to Make It

To make tea honey syrup: combine equal parts honey and Orange Blossom Iced Tea. Stir until combined and smooth.
In a julep tin, add one ounce of Orange Blossom Lipton Iced Tea honey syrup and muddle two orange slices plus six to eight mint leaves for 15 to 20 seconds.
Add bourbon, then add crushed ice.
Garnish with a mint bouquet, a skewered cherry, and an orange rose if applicable.

shape: By now, you're well aware that soda is, well, dangerous. It's the one drink you should simply refrain from drinking whenever you can. In fact, it just might be contributing to that soda belly of yours.In a study of about 1,000 adults over the course of six years, people who drank soda or other sugar-sweetened beverages gained an extra 1.8 pounds of visceral fat-the fat that sits inside your gut, damaging your internal organs and pushing your belly out. And visceral fat has been shown to increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, among other ills. Yikes.So why is soda so good at making us look bad? It's the sugar. The American Heart Association recommends women consume no more than 100 calories (25 grams or 6 teaspoons) per day on sugar and men no more than 150 calories (36 grams or 9 teaspoons) per day.This amount is about 20 grams less than the usual 45 grams of sugar found in many sodas and other sweetened beverages. And if it's not sugar, then it's artificial sweetener, which is 180 times sweeter than sugar and more damaging to your waistline.To help you make better choices, we've ranked the more than 100 of the most popular sodas. We look at calories, sodium, carbs, sugar and examined each can's ingredients and gave demerits to sodas with more chemicals and additives than those that were nutritionally similar.Click through to see where your favorite fizzy drinks fall in our best and worst sodas list, ranked from worst-to-best. (Although, "best" still doesn't mean healthy!) And if you're looking for other beverages to cut from your shopping list, check out the 50 Drinks With More Sugar Than a Hershey's Bar.
