I don't drink anymore but I know one hell of a lot about it , so feel free to use my mixing directions for making a mint julep Kentucky style.
Gather some fresh mint, get it from the patch under your outdoor faucet, that's the best Put some ice cubes in a clean kitchen towel and crush it with the back of your skillet. Put 5 or 6 mint sprigs in cup and mull them around Mix, toss with the mint and put in Sterling silver julep cup with a little simple syrup Wait for the cup to frost Pour 2 jiggers of good bourbon in a small rocks glass. Throw that mint shit on the ground Drink the bourbon neat.

1. Saw three darby's in the early 80's, era. From the infield, of course. |
|
Brought in a garbage can filled with ice and crabs for our dining pleasure. And at the bottom of that large rubbish container was a keg. I would be willing to bet the infield isn't as crazy as it was 30 years ago.

2. My last in '77 and I was too old for the infield then @ 23. |
|
In the olden days I liked to party hard, and I mean hard, but the rookie drunks in the infield can be annoying. I do recommend everybody go one time. I don't think you can sneak anything in now, they have several dumpsters of confiscated liquor and other contraband. They have the National Guard out as well as a reaction force to do any quelling that may be needed. Probably from the drunken legacy we left.

3. Why go to all that trouble preparing the mint if you're not gonna use it? |
|
