Mint Juleps...

In the finest tradition of the South, a tasty way to drink iced bourbon...

Mint juleps are traditionally served inside silver cups or tall glasses.  Run crushed mint leaves inside each container.  Place ½ teaspoon of powdered sugar in the cup with ½ jigger of good Kentucky bourbon and add a drop of angostura bitters.  Stir until the ice is dissolved.  Add about 1/3 cup of crushed ice and stir until the sides of the cup frost up.  Repeat the process several times until 2 - 3 jiggers of bourbon have been integrated into the cup.  To p with a mint sprig tall enough to tickle the nose.  Serve with nice linen napkins, fine friends, and a good story.
