    finished juleps

    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.

    sugar in mint juleps

    Add a teaspoon of turbinado sugar.

    muddled mint julep

    Muddle well, then fill the glass with crushed ice.

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

    Cheers!
