We’ll probably be run out of the South, but we think this is an improvement on the Mint Julep. The lemon tames the mint so it does not overwhelm the drink as it can in a julep.
Rebel Charge
In the days of Civil War, the rebel yell of the Confederate troops as they charged was often enough to put the fear of God into their Union opponents.
Brainstorm
The next time you are trapped in a meeting room, surrounded by flip charts and people desperately trying to think up new ideas, why not suggest that one or two of these might serve to lubricate the creative process nicely?
New Orleans
There is no dispute about where this tangy cocktail originated, right down in the heart of what Southerners still affectionately call Dixieland. Maybe its creation owed something to the festival spirit of Mardi Gras and the seductive, throbbing rhythms of traditional New Orleans jazz.
Whisky Highball
Here’s a classis from the gallery of all-time highball favourites, all of which are simple and quick to make, as well as being equally delicious to drink. The version here uses ginger ale, but soda water would be equally suitable.
Slow Comfortable Screw
A classic American South drink, this is a whisky variant on the vodka-based Screwdriver.
Whisky Sour
Like many great whisky-based cocktails, this old favourite originally came from the American South.
Three Rivers
This drink originated in Canada, hence the fact it is often referred to by its French name, “Trois Rivieres”. The cocktail tastes good provided a good whisky is used.
