Mint Julep season is here! The Julep is a deeply misunderstood cocktail with some disturbing and surprising history. Micah has thoughts and a hack for making it a balanced cocktail. If you want his full thoughts, check out his UVA Lifetime Learning lecture on “Mint Juleps and Old Fashioneds”. Link in bio. See you this week for a Julep!!
