MINT JULEPS
Sit on the front porch in your rocking chair on a sultry afternoon and sip on one or two of these. The proper way to serve a mint julep is in a frozen silver goblet, but you can use glasses instead--just use the most elegant ones you have! You can make the syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for whenever the julep mood strikes you.

From thespruceeats.com
- The Classic Mint Julep. The classic recipe for a mint julep is straightforward, and it has a refreshing taste you won't find in any other cocktail. Quite simply, it's a shot of your favorite bourbon poured over muddled mint and sugar, then topped with crushed ice.

- Brandy Smash. Though whiskey is essential to a mint julep, it's not the spirit of choice for everyone. If brandy is more your style, break with Derby Day tradition and mix up a brandy smash.
