Cocktails and other crap - Tennessee Julep
This has been an interesting week. I was supposed to fly to Richmond for the day on Friday, but as of 5 pm today, I am driving to Nashville for several days. Don’t get me started.
In honor of my trip to Nashville, have one of these for me.
Tennessee Julep
1 jigger Gentleman Jack Tennessee whiskey
1 jigger apricot schnapps
1 tsp powdered sugar
10-12 fresh mint leaves
crushed ice
water
In a bowl cover mint with sugar. Add a few drops of water and muddle. Remove half of muddled mint and place in a silver julep glass. Top with crushed ice to half full. Add whiskey and schnapps, remaining muddle and top with crushed ice. Stir with a long spoon until frost appears on the outside of the glass. Rub lip of glass with lime and dress with fruit and mint.

Cheers, be back later with restaurant reviews and all the resort stuff I bought.
This reminds me… it’s been FAR TOO LONG since I’ve had a mint julep!
I LOVE Mint Juleps!! But of course, I love anything with alcohol!
Ah, yum! I’ll have a few!
Can’t wait for the resort finds!!!
That sounds delish!
Now that sounds wonderful, dangit!
Will these be served tomorrow night? Or..will there be Christmas Tinis or Poinsetia punch?
There are going to be Christams Tinis!
How was Beleza? Their menu looked interesting, in a futuristic kind of way.
Service was bad, bad, bad. Some of the food and drinks were good, but some were so gross they were not eaten or drunk. There were six of us there so a wide variety was tried.
Cool scene though. Liked the music.
I read that their head chef has already stepped down.
I read that on the Blissful Glutton too.
Can I help you with anything? ALso, can I bring another guest. I know just what you need not feeling so great! I can bring food:) love you
Totally bring another guest. You don’t need bring anything unless you just really want too.
