mint julep
One of Kentucky's claims to fame, the mint julep is an alcoholic drink made with fresh mint (sometimes
MUDDLED with sugar), bourbon and plenty of crushed ice. It's traditionally served in an iced silver or pewter mug at the running of the famous Kentucky Derby. However, it's a refreshing favorite on any hot day.
