This Mint Julep Is So Refreshing and Easy, You'll Make It Year Round
Ask most bartenders in the U.S. about the Mint Julep and they will tell you it's a cocktail they can't give away except on one calendar date: Kentucky Derby day, the first Saturday in May, when they sell them hand over fist.
But even if demand were to arise, bartenders are rarely prepared to make a Mint Julep on any old day. No one would call the ingredients and equipment that the drink requires run of the mill. While most bars have bourbon on hand, the cocktail also demands fresh mint (and lots of it), crushed ice (lots of that too) and a Julep cup, traditionally silver plated.

Is Aaron Rodgers married? 1 photo detail leads to rampant speculation.
The "is Aaron Rodgers engaged?" book has a new chapter. Back at the 2025 Kentucky Derby, it appeared the newest Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback -- man, that's going to look so weird when he suits up in that uniform -- had some kind of ring on the finger you'd associate with a wedding band. And in the photo of him signing his contract with the Steelers, there's a detail that everyone noticed: some kind of ring on his left hand ring finger. Hmmm. Could it be that he's engaged? Married already? We know that last December he talked about his newest significant other, "Brittani." That's all we know. There have been no photos, no official confirmations about them, nothing. Maybe because of his past relationships with names like Olivia Munn, or race driving legend Danica Patrick or actress Shailene Woodley, he wants to keep things private. Fans are all speculating due to the photo that dropped recently: Done deal ✍️ @AaronRodgers12 — Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) June 7, 2025 There's speculation that Aaron Rodgers is sporting a wedding ring in the picture the Steelers shared of him signing with the team 🤔 — (@sportsgossip) June 7, 2025 No word on what that ring means, but the speculation is rampant.

Bobby Flay Gushes Over New Girlfriend Brooke Williamson
Food Network star Bobby Flay opened up about his new girlfriend, Brooke Williamson. On his Instagram story on May 15, 2025, Flay was asked by a fan, 'If you had to compete as a team, who would you choose as your teammate?' He responded, according to People, 'I'll take @chefbrookew. I know our food would get an upgrade in terms of presentation. She makes delicious food, but it's always pretty too (like her).' Williamson shared the post to her own page. The story is no longer visible on either page. On May 2, Williamson shared a video on her Instagram page that shows her at the Kentucky Derby with Flay. According to Us Weekly, Flay has been married three times. Williamson is also divorced, the magazine reported. Willamson is the Top Chef Season 14 winner, according to Us Weekly, and she stars with Flay in his show Bobby's Triple Threat. A new season of the latter show is coming on July 9, according to Food Network. "Only the most-elite chefs will enter Bobby's secret kitchen to face off against acclaimed chef-titans Brooke Williamson, Michael Voltaggio and Tiffany Derry in a triple threat throwdown," the page says. "Brooke is a seasonal chef born and raised in California. Her food is always fresh and evolving, and her signature California-inspired cuisine has earned her worldwide acclaim," the channel's bio for Williamson says. "At the age of only 22, she was the youngest female chef ever to cook at the James Beard House, and her one-two punch flavor and finesse has her feared at every culinary arena she enters," it adds.
