Each year when the first Saturday in May rolls along you know it’s time for two things,
- Kentucky Derby and
- Mint Juleps.
Now of course, everyone is a fan of the Kentucky Derby, the fastest two minutes in sports. However, not everyone is a fan of the Mint Julep. Here’s a very simple recipe for making the perfect Mint Julep.

Step No. 1
- Grab a Highball glass.

- Pour in your favorite Bourbon.
- Drink the Bourbon before it gets minty.
Step No. 2
- Grab same Highball glass.
- Add ice (optional.)
- Pour in your favorite Bourbon.
- Now go ahead and drink that one too.
Step No. 3
Now, here’s the questionable part.
- Grab same Highball glass.
- Squeeze in a few ounces of your favorite minty toothpaste.
- Add grass (any will do.)
- Add sugar.
- Gently muddle.
- Add ice (the more the better because you want to limit the amount of bourbon you are about to ruin.)
- Pour in your least-favorite Bourbon.
- Garnish with something non-poisonous from your back yard.
- Now, enjoy or better yet, give this to someone you don’t like.
