cocktails

I can hardly believe I'm going to admit this, but I have never tasted a mint julep. When I realized that today, May 30th, was Mint Julep Day, I decided to look up a recipe for this most classic of cocktails and delve into the history of this very famous cocktail.

It’s May and that means that soon we’ll be celebrating our Mexican heritage, much like we all celebrate our Irish heritage in March…even when we have neither. Cinco de Mayo is a great excuse to leave work early, eat tortilla chips and drink more tequila than sanity allows, but is it starting to feel just a little bit like the same old thing?
