tequila bottles and support a holiday that has dignified tradition and strong moral standing. What is
this nonsense of counting in Spanish and shaving carefully manicured facial hair? Even your
mother would tell you, you look like a grown man who spends too much time near the playground.
Embrace adulthood and a true American tradition: Bourbon and Roses. The fifth of May is
unimportant. The day of May 6th, 2006 however, constitutes the 132nd running of the Kentucky
Derby. Truly, a day worth celebrating with culinary indulgence.
With the season in full bloom, most Freestylewalkers have little opportunity for anything beyond
competing, training and signing autographs. So this recipe will be brief and historic.
***WARNING: FREESTYLE WALKING IS VERY SERIOUS PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND
PHYSIOLOGICALLY. IN NO WAY IS ALCOHOL RECOMMENDED AS PART OF A TRAINING
REGIMEN OR LIFESTYLE.***
Mint Juleps:
Ingredients-
Simple Syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 bunch fresh mint
crushed ice
bourbon of choice
To make syrup, heat water and stir in sugar until dissolved. Raise heat and simmer for five

needed.
In a highball glass or a traditional silver Julep cup, add 1 ounce of minted syrup and a cup of
crushed ice. Shake together. Add 2 ounces of bourbon. Add water (cold filtered) if desired.
Garnish with fresh mint and serve repeatedly until rich from winnings or pain of loss is diminished.
Run fast, Sweet Northern Saint. Drink up walkers of the world!
