Today Show has a video showing how to make Mint Julep's...

Here's a recipe:


4 fresh mint sprigs
2 1/2 oz bourbon whiskey
1 tsp powdered sugar
2 tsp water



Muddle mint leaves, powdered sugar, and water in a collins glass. Fill the glass with shaved or crushed ice and add bourbon. Top with more ice and garnish with a mint sprig. Serve with a straw.

Guess that's why they use a large glass... have a straw... and lots of shaved ice... sipping and letting the ice melt...

I'll stick to Margaretta's...

I saw the title of the post and thought you were thinking about what to do with the loser! PETA and the ASPCA would be looking for you.
