Great stuff Todd!! About the same recipe I use. my sister, brother and I have passed the following link around since the days that stamps were 15 cents. http://www.civilwarhome.com/mintjulep.htmThe following is a copy of a letter from Lieutenant General Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr., USA [(VMI-1906, West Point-1908) killed on Okinawa June 18, 1945] to Major General William D. Connor, [Superintendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point] dated March 30, 1937. Buckner Jr. was the son of General Simon Bolivar Buckner of the Confederate army who surrendered Fort Donelson to General Grant, thus giving Grant his nickname of "Unconditional Surrender" Grant. This letter clearly demonstrates the esteem in which a "Mint Julep" is held. We used to have a contest to see who could produce the first GARDEN based Julip of the year. Since I moved to the Houston area, I usually call then at midnight on New Years Eve and let them know I won!!! (They are in Denver and Portland at the time).
