146. Mint Julep
It’s time for the next installment of Music Crush Monday, and this week is the start of our new “segment” called “Cocktails With Sara” That’s right! It was talked about and the dream is now a reality. Kevin’s wife, Sara is taking his seat this week to not only talk music with Steve but to also enjoy a cocktail.
In this fun segment, Steve and Sara make a drink that neither of them have had so get ready to hear all the sound effects of glasses clanging, ice pouring, and mint being muddled to death.
Sara also brings a fairly recent discovery of an artist that she has been super into ever since this whole crazy pandemic started. Facebook actually suggested this artist and the video caught her attention and that steamrolled her love for the music. Listen in on the fun, listen in to the ingredients of the drink to make it yourself as you kick back and listen to the music. Thank you to Sara for stepping in this week but as always, we will see you next Monday!!
If you want to play along at home and make the recipe Sara brought here is what you’ll need:
10 Mint Leaves, a spring for garnish
1 ½ teaspoons of superfine sugar
Seltzer Water
Crushed Ice
2 ½ oz. of Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey
Directions:
Place the mint leaves in the bottom of an old-fashioned glass and top with the sugar. Muddle these together until the leaves begin to break down.
Add a splash of seltzer water
Fill the glass 3/4 full with crushed ice
Add the bourbon
Top with another splash of seltzer, stir, and garnish with a sprig of mint.
