Just another reason to stay well away... Asides from a litany of sins, she also holds the shaker the wrong way - whenever I happen to see that I duck. Just another reason to stay well away…

Heres my Mint Julep story: I currently tend at a bar called CRU Martini Bar in Mandeville, LA but before that managed a restaurant Annadeles Plantation(annadeles.com). A couple years ago. The movie, Dreamer starring Kurt Russel and Dakota Fanning was filming in our area. Kurt Russel and a couple others came in for dinner one night. Everthing went well and they thoughrouly enoyed themselves. Not until after they left did the waitress inform me that his first drink request had been a Mint Julep and we had been completely out of fresh mint. (Something we never really had on hand.) Well, a week later they came back! This time I sent one of the backwaiters to the store for some mint and offered Mr. Russel one on the house. He enjoyed the drink and the experience at the restaurant so much he actually had us cater the movies wrap party for them. Hey Jeffrey,

My. God. This video makes a good old Kentucky guy like me cringe. I've had better juleps at sorority parties. Where to begin? Perhaps with the limes? The Rose's? The sour mix? The Sprite? I think that she needs one more step to the recipe, right after the mint sprig...toss the whole thing down the drain before anyone sees you. Oh. My. God.
