So we have like 4 kinds of mint growing on the patio ... and here I am with all this Maker's ... so I tossed some fresh mint leaves into the bottom of a glass ... bruised them with a pestal ... tossed a spoon full of powdered sugar in and enough water to cover it ... mixed well ... tossed in some ice and a shot of maker's and there you go, one quick and dirty Mint Julep.

Now if I could just find some horse racing on tv (ifn only I had me a nice white suit and bolo tie).
Oohhh...way to go, Colonel. Sounds refreshing.
I'm a big fan of Maker's, myself. Enjoy, Colonel!
You hit the "Mark"..
I thought you were going to say you made some fried chicken.
No fried chicken ... just the mint juleps (probably a couple too many) and a couple NY strips grilled out on the veranda.
We used to have a TON of mint when we had our AeroGarden. Sadly, we let it all die and never used it for drinks. Well, one time I put mint and Lemon Basil in some tea and it was awesome. I think Lemon Basil tasted more "minty" than the Mint did. I didn't bruise it though.
mmm makers
