I'm not much of a cocktail drinker really. I've got the fixings for several things in the house but I don't really bother with them anymore. However I had the opportunity to savour a mint julep recently (which I guess is a little bit like a mojito only using bourbon instead of rum) and it was fantastic. Earlier today when I was driving back from the wedding (see below) I was listening to an old episode of Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour. The topic was drinking and at one point in the show Bob gave us his recipe for a Mint Julep. I came home, discovered this brilliant little website and combined the two..Unfortunately I can't embed the video into the blog but if you go here you should be able to see it..

You've inspired me to go out into the garden, eat leaves and maybe bring some in for a mojito.
Every nice boy likes a girl with green in her teeth.
And now i'm inspired to make a new cocktail when i log off.
Let's see: I have Baileys, Stella, an old bottle of apple schnaps and some Blackcurrant Mi-Wadi. And ice of course. I should be able to throw something together.
I can give you a recipe for our house cocktail, Sex on the Bog?
2 parts gin, 1 part rum, 1 part West Coast Cooler, 1 part Um Bongo (1992 vintage), a slop of Tia Maria and fill up the rest of the glass with Blue Nun. Twizzle the mixture with some heather and garnish with a lump of turf.
