Bachelors and Mint Juleps

The new issue of the Paducah Sun's Posh magazine is out, with a super cute story on bachelor pads, including this one on the home of... ...iDate of the Week Boone Reed. DAR-LING! Even more darling because my beautiful mother-in-law wrote it. Pat Brockenborough has written for the Sun for YEARS. She loves coming up with story ideas, she loves interviewing people and telling the stories and she loves seeing it all laid out and published. I love all that, too. Except the writing part. That part's hard. Pat also loves researching stories, and she did an AMAZING job with this one, tracking down the ultimate recipe for Mint Juleps, which she found in Red Likker, a book by "Paducah's prose laureate" Irvin S. Cobb. The recipe is from Judge J. Soule Smith of Lexington, but the description is all Cobb: "Take from a cold spring some water, pure as angels are; mix it with sugar till it seems like oil. Then take a glass and crush your mint with it with a spoon — crush it around the borders of the glass and leave no place untouched. Then throw the mint away — it is a sacrifice. Fill with cracked ice the glass; pour in the quantity of Bourbon you want. It trickles slowly through the ice. Let it have time to cool, then pour your sugared water over it. No spoon is needed; no stirring allowed — just let it stand a moment. Then around the brim place sprigs of mint, so that the one who drinks may find taste and odor at one draft." Be sure to pick up a copy of Posh or, if you're a Sun subscriber, download it. Great job, Posh team!
