Bloody Marys!
Whether it is a little hair of the dog or just a relaxing afternoon, nothing says Sunday Funday like the perfect Bloody Mary! Everyone has their own version of the perfect bloody Mary and I am no exception. I found the most amazing recipe that has the perfect balance of tomato, heat and vodka. This is Kristin Alfandre’s recipe from Mason’s Grill in Baton Rouge. Beware! It definitely has a kick to it!

The Mint Julep
I don't know why for for some reason these always taste better in the silver julep cups. Start sipping on one of these and you will immediately feel yourself relaxing!
Ingredients
- 3 oz Makers Mark
- Fresh mint about 8 leaves
- 2 oz simple syrup
- crushed ice
Instructions
-
Muddle the mint and simple syrup in a silver julep cup. Add the bourbon and then fill the glass to the top with crushed ice. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Simple syrup- mix equal parts sugar and water. Bring them to a boil to thicken and then let it cool.
