Wife wants me to brew up some Mint Jullips tomorrow..... I have been on line and seen many different variations...

Anyone have a recipe they want to share?

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.

WOW these are not something you want to drink to many of......

But I did.

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 heard that all the ladies must wear large silly hats to drink these.... or maybe it was that they wear a large silly hats AFTER they drink these.

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.
