Old Fashioned Mint Julep was pinched from <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/recipe/old-fashioned-mint-julep" target="_blank">www.foxnews.com.</a>

"This old fashioned mint julep recipe comes from the first real cocktail book ever published in the United States, Bon-Vivant's Companion by Jerry Thomas (1862).

This Mint Julep Day, cool off with a nostalgic and delicious homage to a drinking era that is long gone but not forgotten...."
