In our old neighborhood, there was a retired couple we
admired. Six each year, they lived in Utah. They spent time gardening and
playing with grandkids. When winter arrived, they packed their car, loaded
their dog and cat, and moved to Arizona away from ice and snow. In summer,
they’d come back and sit on their porch with mint juleps, greeting passersby.
Our current home has a porch, and as of this week, it has two rockers. All we
need are the mint juleps.
Mint Juleps – Disneyland Style
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup mint leaves
4 cups crushed ice
3 cups lemonade
3 cups sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
Mint leaves for garnish
In a saucepan, combine sugar and water; stir over medium
heat until the sugar dissolves. Turn off heat and add mint, crushing gently.
Steep 30 minutes, then strain. Add to remaining ingredients for a pitcher of
minty goodness to share.
