The Best Drink Ever

I had today off from work, amazingly enough, and ended up at a birthday bash for a friend of mine at grad school. Not only was the party amazing, but I got to chat it up with an amazingly diverse group of people. I actually felt comfortable for once in this forsaken place... (I'm in the bible belt - what did I expect. *sigh*)

Before I forget it, here's the recipe for an awesome drink that is ssssoooo addicting!

Mint Julep -

Fresh mint. As in, fresh from the garden, picked it less than an hour ago, mint.
Enough ice to drown in
Simple syrup
Sugar (which I need to get the name of the type of rim sugar she had. Hm.)
Lime (juice and limes)
Booze of choice, what booze decides the name of the drink... [Also great drink sans booze!]

1. Rim glass with sugar concoction. Crush mint in glass
2. Fill the entire thing with ice. Seriously, you can not add enough ice. It'll all melt in two steps.
3. Add a few drops of lime juice
4. Add the simple syrup [and the booze if you're drinking]
5. Crush mint more. Enjoy!
