Please remove this recipe as an insult to the Ky Mint Julep.There is not an "Ole' Ky Home" that does not have embedded in it's bones, Mint (wild or not) and the propensity to appreciate Bourbon.The Julep is a celebration of that rustic and old Home'sy feel of the casual country.Therefore, Please do not call this a Julep. Maybe it is a "Sport Drink", for those inclined to chase the Derby Winner?
