In this julep recipe, traditional mint is replaced with equally fragrant tarragon. Combined with fresh strawberries and natural vanilla, it creates a stunningly sweet, refreshing flavor, perfectly complementing the aromatic bourbon. Serve the julep in a well-chilled glass filled with crushed ice. The perfect summer cocktail. The remaining vanilla sugar can be stored in a tightly sealed container and added to other drinks, such as tea or coffee.
