(NEED A CANVAS BAG OR PILLOWCASE AND A MALLET OR FOOD TENDERIZER, A LARGE
PECAN TREE AND A CHAISE LOUNGE)
This is the only recipe of Grandma Ruth.s that I saved in memory.  It makes
the most divine Mint Juleps, but be careful, there is really a lot of
bourbon in these things. She insisted that the ice be cracked to a fine
crush in a bag to keep it from forming into a lump in the glass.  Ice from
a crusher or shaving machine will be too wet for this recipe.
1- Crack the ice in a bag or pillowcase to the consistency of fine
pea-gravel.  Keep it cold and dry while you create these drinks. 2- Put a
small sprig of mint (about 3 leaves) and one tsp of sugar in the bottom of
the cooler glass. Put in a handful of cracked ice (about 1 in thick layer).
3- Repeat this layer process until the glass is full and immediately put it
in the freezer. 4- Fill all 8 of the glasses with the ice/mint mixture and
freeze them. 5- When ready to serve, fill the glass with bourbon, add a
sprig of mint to top for garnish and serve with a long Ice-Tea spoon. The
drink requires that the person served muddle the drink constantly until the
sugar and mint  start to dissolve. Continue to muddle the julep as  you sip
it and enjoy the shade of the pecan tree,  and rest from the Louisiana Sun
in the chaise lounge.  If you find these to be as good as I do, and make
the mistake of trying a second one, get up from the  chaise lounge VERY
SLOWLY.

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
