{ mint julep by Stephanie Congdon Barnes }
While I’ve never had the opportunity to visit Churchill Downs, I do enjoy the occasional mint julep. So I was pretty excited when I saw this recipe for mint julep ice cream just in time for the Kentucky Derby. Sounds good, right? Well it IS! It really tastes like a mint julep, not a particularly strong mint julep, but a mint julep nonetheless. It’s a great blend of mint, sweet, and, yes, Bourbon.
Head on over to Simply Recipes for the recipe. Plus, since I kind of tricked you with the image, here’s David Wonrich’s take on the perfect mint julep. Enjoy!
oh man, if i weren’t the most impatient person ever, i just might try to make that ice cream . it looks gooooooooood.
Lisa! Just get your fiancé to make it for you! (How do you think I stay so full and plump around the edges?)
umm, what fullness & plumpness are you referring to? i know we haven’t met in person or anything, but those photos show one seriously svelte lady. (you can have some of my fullness & plumpness though, if you’re in the market).
Ok you caught me! I’m a 6’3″ Victoria Secret model. I didn’t wanna brag. But don’t even pretend like you got some plump to spare! DON’T EVEN.
