A sports cocktail recipe for the Yankees here for Derby Day.

I don't drink anymore but I know one hell of a lot about it , so feel free to use my mixing directions for making a mint julep Kentucky style.

Gather some fresh mint, get it from the patch under your outdoor faucet, that's the best
Put some ice cubes in a clean kitchen towel and crush it with the back of your skillet.
Put 5 or 6 mint sprigs in cup and mull them around
Mix, toss with the mint and put in Sterling silver julep cup with a little simple syrup
Wait for the cup to frost
Pour 2 jiggers of good bourbon in a small rocks glass.
Throw that mint shit on the ground
Drink the bourbon neat.
