That's also pretty good. I also enjoyed dragonberry punch and a mint julep recently.

I used to have a mint julep every year on the first Saturday of May (Kentucky Derby day) While traditional, I've yet to meet anyone who likes them; and I lived in Louisville for around 10 years. If you like bourbon, they have too much other stuff in them, if you don't, they have too much bourbon.

I stopped forcing myself to drink them a few years ago. If I'm in the mood for some bourbon, I just take it on the rocks.

I forgot about calimocho (red wine and Coke). I always love some good calimocho.

I have never heard of such.

I think you're putting me on.

I'm totally trying this tonight, though. 50/50?

Edit: Well I'll be damned...

Yeah, 50/50.

Its basically a way of stretching out the wine so everyone can have a bit before going out; the Spanish version of passing around a 40. As such, much like drinking a 40 yourself, its also a good way to sit around and watch hockey.

I don't enjoy hockey, but perhaps while I listen to baseball.

Anyone that didn't have at least one mint julep last Friday is a terrible person.

I was also sporting my gigantic, gaudy hat with it

My first time trying a mint julep and I have to say it wasn't bad. The ladies with us wanted them sweeter though
