The first US General killed in WWII was one that was leading his men on a B-17 raid on Wilhelshaven (sp) early in the war, Nathan Bedford Forrest III.

“Your letter requesting my formula for mixing mint juleps leaves me in the same position in which Captain Barber found himself when asked how he was able to carve the image of an elephant from a block of wood. He replied that it was a simple process consisting merely of whittling off the part that didn’t look like an elephant.”
ROFL!

A fitting post just before Derby Day, the first official day of mint julep season.

Thanks for the ping. I’ll pass it on to my dad who was also on Okinawi. That mint julip sounds good enough to start me to drinking.

When I clicked either link this morning, they took me to the article- tried a moment ago, and got a registration page.

This will take those interested to another webpage with the formula:

All is right except, the mint should be ground into the ice with one’s thumb with as much force as possible.We are talking about a labor of love here!

I might note that some of us prefer Tennessee Whisky in our juleps, out of loyalty to the Confederate state.
George Dickel is my preference, not too sweet (like Beam), not too tart (like BlackJack), and not too likely to break your wallet.
