sasquatch derby

The summer drink of choice at our coffee shop is the Sasquatch Derby.  A summery, southern influenced drink, we recommend drinking it on your front porch on a rocking chair. Start by making your own Yeti Cold Brew coffee concentrate at home, add mint syrup and sparkling water and enjoy! We’ve been known to add a little bourbon or rum after we clock out as well.

mint syrup ingredients

  • 1 oz / 30g mint leaves
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 2 cups water

make mint syrup

  1. In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
  2. Wash the mint leaves and remove any tough woody stems.
  3. Add the mint leaves to the pot of boiling water, stir for 30 seconds and remove the leaves, reserving the water.
  4. Add the blanched mint leaves to a food processor with the sugar and run until the leaves are thoroughly pulverized; about 30 seconds.
  5. Allow the sugar and pulverized mint to sit for 10 minutes
  6. Bring the blanching water back to a boil, add the mint and sugar mixture to the pot, and stir to combine until all the sugar is dissolved
  7. Pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove any leaf solids

build a sasquatch derby
