#### FOODIE FRIDAY

# Foodie Friday: Mint Julep

So, technically it isn’t food. But you still ingest it.

In honor of this weekend’s 139th Kentucky Derby, today’s Foodie Friday is the iconic mint julep. This beaut was perfectly crafted at Anvil in Houston for last year’s Kentucky Derby.

This weekend, I hope you ladies will don your biggest hats, and you gents will wear your fanciest threads and enjoy a few of these bourbon-based Southern specialties.

And here’s a little recipe to help you out:
Fresh mint (a few sprigs should be fine)
2.5 oz bourbon (I like Bulleit)
1 tsp powdered sugar
2 tsp water

Muddle the mint, sugar and water in glass. Fill the glass with ice and bourbon. Add mint sprig and straw. Sip and relax.

### What is “Megano?”

An “Italian” name (rhymes with “Figaro”) given to me
by a friend before I studied abroad in Rome. I had to be
more Italian, you see. It’s stuck ever since.
