Tomorrow is Derby Day. All those with Southern breeding of any count know that the only thing to drink tomorrow is mint juleps. Here's how...serve them preferably in silver julep cups, or pewter Jefferson cups if you must:
Mint Julep Recipe
In a bowl, place several fresh mint sprigs, 1 tsp. of sugar and 1/4 ounce of water. Crush the leaves with a spoon and stir all well. Fill a chilled cup with crushed ice, fill with Bourbon, and top with strained mixture. Or place a bit of the mixture into the chilled cup. Add a layer of crushed ice. Continue at least one more time, topping with ice. Pour Bourbon on top. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
