I always post the link to this:

Mix up a bunch of these and turn on the Hi Def TV and you got yourself a real Derby experience!

I grew up in KY. That's a pretty decent recipe and the main one served at the Derby. I prefer ot use a different Bourbon though. I think Bulleit is the best - smoother than ET, and not one of the ultra expensive ones.

Cheers!

but be careful with those things. You might just wake up watching the Belmont.

i don't like 'em so sweet, so i steep the mint in whiskey, and just add a tiny bit of sugar at the end.
johnnysauntie, you are entirely correct! damn, that's a hangover.

but it will be cinco de mayo and derby day? so i'll have a margarita in one hand, and a julep in the other???

Sarafina, that is a recipe for disaster if I ever heard it! Let us know how that turns out for you! oof.
