I don't read directions sometimes. The mixology monday guidelines said to swap 2 ingredients. So, against my better judgement and sobriety, I re made my julep using Rye whiskey, Anise Hyssop and simple syrup. It was still delicious, but the Rye's spicy character was able to subdue the anise/fennel/licorice flavor of the herb more than the Bourbon did.
Don't worry about it. The "rules" were just rough guidelines and enthusiasm to participate balances things out. Cheers, Fred
ReplyDeleteThanks Fred! I don't really need my arm twisted to make another drink. I just thought for my first time participating, I should try my best.
