Stagg Jr Barrel Proof Mint Julep
We were very tempted to go with the Old Fashioned, which is a true bourbon cocktail, but it seemed too obvious, so instead, we're building on the Kentucky connection and suggesting the Mint Julep.

- Step 2: Strain into a glass or julep tin filled with crushed ice.
Paul John Mithuna Tripple Sour
