Anyone know if you can buy the mint syrup to make a mint julep?

Dh and my MIL loved the mint julep (I thought it tasted like watery scope). Anyone know a place to buy the mint syrup? MIL heard they sold (and possibly sell) it at DL, but we didn't know to look while we were there.

It's actually called Creme de Menthe syrup. It is available at liquor stores, as well as online. (Just don't purchase Creme de Menthe liqueur or you will get an added treat!)

Last time I was at the Mint Julep stand, there were bottles of the syrup on top of the dispensers. The brand was Monin in Frosted Mint. Here's what it looked like: http://www.monin.com/product.php?id=55

Here is a recipe from a Disneyland Recipes site:

Monin is the best brand you can buy for any of the syrup flavors you need.

I keep a stash of them by my coffee maker. They also make a killer Rose syrup and a Passionfruit one. I've tried over 20 of their varieties and have not been disappointed in any of them. You can use them for flavoring club soda, tea, candy (I use them in homemade Marshmallows), over ice cream, and other treats.
