Lecture Holiday! READ this first, please

We were going to have a lecture about…NOT mint juleps, big hats on the beautiful ladies,  and horses.

As me and mine come from horse people, there is no lecture today.  We have cleaned the stalls and mucked and mucked and mucked, so none of us are any where near the Downs.  But that doesn’t prevent an early start for the festiviti.

 

It’s the 137th Derby Day!

 

and lets start this right,how about some mint juleps:

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.

OR….

Let’s Boooze!

 

I will update this closer to race time. Enjoy yer Julep!
