Drinks for Your Kentucky Derby Party: Beyond the Julep
“Mint Juleps are like oil changes: you could do it on your own, but it will be messy. It’s far better to leave it to the professionals. To make one isn’t impossible, it just requires copious amounts of crushed ice (made with a mallet and a Lewis bag), fresh mint, bonded bourbon (the lower proof stuff won’t hold up), a swizzle stick, a sterling silver cup and, most importantly, the thing that you can’t buy: skill.”
