   Mint Juleps - Andrew's second
   
Stuff a quart jar full of mint leaves. Add a shot or two of your
favorite brandy, and fill the rest of the way with your favorite
bourbon or table whisk(e)y. Refrigerate for 5 days, turning the jar
over once a day.

On the 6th day, pour 1/4" of sugar in the bottom of your julep cup,
bruise two mint leaves into the sugar, fill with crushed ice, and
strain the julep into the glass. Stick a sprig of mint in the ice,
and enjoy. Straw optional.

My mother's family prepares their juleps very differently.  They mix
a shot of water, tablespoon of sugar, and the juice of an orange
quarter together, bruise mint around the interior of the glass, layer
a few mint leaves in the ice, along with a thin slice of orange , and
pour bourbon over the mix.
