Author

Kentucky Derby coming up…

Forest of mint growing already in the herb bed…

A long day filled with appointments…

Bottle of Eagle Rare bourbon in the cabinet…

This afternoon, all signs pointed to a Mint Julep. Here’s how I make them:

fresh homegrown mint for juleps

Fill a low ball glass with a quarter cup or more fresh cleaned mint leaves.

Add a teaspoon of turbinado sugar.

Muddle well, then fill the glass with crushed ice.

Top it off with 2 – 4 ounces of high quality bourbon.

Cheers!
