Went to a local lake for paddle boarding with my ex-husband that decided surprising me would be fun this morning and then fly home a few hours ago. Lake was cold as shit so kind of funny watching him fall over multiple times and going back to my house for drinks and s*x. Got too drunk so he had to Uber but at least I got a fun morning trip and got laid

Considering the occasion of the PGA Championship being held in a Louisville golf course called ValhallaโฆI decided to go and entertain my inner bartender by making myself a mead julep
(Which is essentially a mint julep, but subbing the simple syrup with honey)
Sadly, due to my temporary NEET status, I couldn't make it all that nice, so some substitutions had to be made...
This isn't regular honey, but rather one of those fancy honeys you can get at a farmer's market; this one is "ghost-pepper infused", which made it a bit spicy. Sadly, it was relatively crystallized when it used it, so I don't think the flavor really popped through. Still nice tho! Anyway, I mixed that (and a bit of agave syrup to make it more runny) with some mint leaves from the plants in our house garden; for the record, we do have a muddler (my pops uses it a lot for cachaรงa and caipirinha), but I couldn't find it, so again, had to improvise with a spoon
Yeah, it's Jim Bean. And it's already pre-infused with honey. Yes, the bourbon snobs will get disgusted and call this a poor attempt at cocktail innovation (a notation I 100% agree with)...but hey, it was a relatively lot of liquor for relatively cheap, and it got that honey flavor I'm aiming for, so why not?
I used the whole bottle, which may have been a shot's worth or two. Doesn't seem like much, but as any good bourbon enjoyer knows, you are supposed to use a shitton of crushed ice to finish the product...
I used two sprigs of mint; the one with big leaves was used for the muddle, and the one that's smaller is now my garnish
Overall, I'd (personally) say it's a solid 6 or 7, at least for a first attempt where the ingredients are eyeballed. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the mint flavor wasn't really all that pronounced - but thankfully, I had a bottle of peppermint oil on me, so a few drops did the trick! Maybe a bit too good, cause the mintiness got a bit too strong near the end lol.
Still...it's darn refreshing! The mix of herbal menthol, spicy bee spit, and of course, the kick of Kentucky whiskey makes this mix quite a delight - especially since I made it my self!

That reminds me, I didn't make my once a year mint juleps for the Kentucky Derby recently, totally missed it.
Muddle the mint up good with some bourbon and sugar and the drink is poppin'.

I definitely needed more mint overall, and definitely more of a smashed product too...
Maybe I got a bit too paranoid with the whole "overmuddling the herbs will make the entire thing more bitter" idea and held myself back...
But hey, trial and error!
After all, the original cocktail makers didn't just magically get the proportions right the first times...

I'm only disgusted by the bottle size. What is that? A bottle for kids?

I hit up duty free any time I'm flying international. Good booze for bouncy bottle prices? I'm not spending a single day sober
