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.

Puppy Bowl 2025: Meet the Adorable Pups Facing Off in the Competition
Originally appeared on E! Online The cuddliest competition of the year is back. That's right: 142 rescue pups from 80 shelters will go head-to-head Feb. 9 in the 21st annual Puppy Bowl, airing at 2 p.m. EST/11 a.m. PST across Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, TBS, truTV, Max and discovery+. And the cuteness overload is worth the tune-in alone. In the three-hour-long television event, more puppies than ever before will compete on either Team Fluff—led by Julep, the first-ever St. Bernard-mix, and Smoosh, the only Pekingese to compete in the games—or Team Ruff—led by Mr. Pickles, a Pug-Chihuahua mix from Dallas, and Tuani, a Chihuahua-German shepherd hailing from Nicaragua—in the call-to-adoption program. "Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl serves as an annual pop culture programming event that continues to expand in reach, awareness and of course, puppies, every year," said Chief Creative Officer of U.S. Networks and President of Discovery Networks Howard Lee. "Win or lose, Puppy Bowl XXI will have the cutest players in the game on Sunday, February 9 and will inspire families across the country to adopt a new furry friend." More from E!
