So much pressure
It’s like I can’t focus on anything and I can’t do everything and I feel like I might break.

“How well I remember my first encounter with The Devil’s Brew. I happened to stumble across a case of bourbon — and went right on stumbling for several days thereafter.” -W.C. Fields
The mint julep has become a mainstay in Kentucky, especially on the 1st Saturday in May. This is the drink of the Kentucky Derby, a simple concoction of syrup, mint, and quality bourbon. They’re off!

I’m all for kitsch.
You need excellent bourbon whiskey; rye or Scotch will not do. Put half an inch of sugar in the bottom of the glass and merely dampen it with water. Next, very quickly—and here is the trick in the procedure—crush your ice, actually powder it—preferably in a towel with a wooden mallet, so quickly that it remains dry, and, slipping two sprigs of fresh mint against the inside of the glass, cram the ice in right to the brim, packing it with your hand. Finally, fill the glass, which apparently has no room left for anything else, with bourbon, the older the better, and grate a bit of nutmeg on the top. The glass will frost immediately. Then settle back in your chair for half an hour of cumulative bliss.
—Walker Percy (from Bourbon, Neat)
