Recipe of the Week–Mint Juleps Southern Style

Mr. Roosevelt Owens

This recipe was given to us by Roosevelt Owens, a southern gentleman if ever there was one.  It is by far one of the most refreshing and delicious mixed drinks we have ever had the good graces to imbibe.  Mr. Owens works at the lovely Monmouth Inn in Natchez Mississippi.  If y’all are ever in that little old neighborhood, look him up.  This fine southern gent would be most happy to serve you in style.  http://www.monmouthhistoricinn.com/  To contact him directly: [email protected]
