- Mint Julep
-
- 2 oz good-quality bourbon
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 15 mint leaves (without stems)- Kentucky Colonel mint is the best variety for this drink, although any mint will work
- crushed ice (you can use a muddler or hit your local Sonic for a bag!)
- 3-4 mint sprigs, for garnish
- Directions
- In the bottom of a glass (or julep cup), lightly muddle 10–15 mint leaves. Gently press them down hard, about 6–8 presses to bruise them. Do not pulverize. Add the simple syrup and bourbon. Stir. Fill the cup about ⅔ full of crushed ice and stir well. And, I mean stir it really well … like, for a minute. You want that ice to melt and dilute. Fill with more crushed ice and stir again. Mound the crushed ice on top of the glass. This drink should be super cold. Take 3–4 good-looking mint sprigs and slap them against the palm of your hand (this is a light way to release some of those oils.) Place them all together into the crushed ice. (As an option, you can also sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar on top for looks.) Serve immediately.

Balsamic London Broil
1. Place the meat in a heavy-duty, self-sealing plastic bag with the brown sugar, vinegar and pepper. Marinate for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator.
2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
3. Remove the meat from the bag, reserving the marinade, place on grill over direct heat, and cook for about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil; let stand for 5 minutes.
4. Add the reserved marinade to a small skillet with the wine and chile sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced by half. Thinly slice the meat against the grain and serve with the sauce. Enjoy and savor!
