Happy 4th Of July

Happy 4th Of JulyPer Wikipedia: 

Independence Day, known colloquially as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States which commemorates the ratification of the Declaration of Independence by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, establishing the United States of America.

The Founding Father delegates of the Second Continental Congress declared that the Thirteen Colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, King George III, and were now united, free, and independent states.[1] The Congress voted to approve independence by passing the Lee Resolution on July 2 and adopted the Declaration of Independence two days later, on July 4.[1]

Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts,[2] baseball games, family reunions, political speeches, and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States.

The History Of The Mint Julep

The History Of The Mint JulepThe History Of The Mint Julep.  The origins of the Mint Julep did not begin at Churchill Downs.  Although it is the official drink of the Kentucky Derby (since 1939), and horse racing in general.

The Gulab was a mixture of water and rose petals in the Middle East.  It was used as bathwater by nobility and for medicinal purposes.  This spread to the Mediterranean where the rose petals were replaced with bountiful mint leaves and the concoction was known as Julab.

In the 1800’s the drink reached America.  The high British taxes on rum and brandy after the Revolution caused Americans to substitute those spirits with our own bourbon.  The stablemasters would take a shot of whiskey as an “eye opener” in the morning and bourbon became popular around stables and race tracks.  Read more about the history of the Mint Julep here:  https://www.abcfws.com/a-guide-to-mint-juleps-for-derby-day

The 2024 Kentucky Derby is this Saturday, May 4th at 6 PM.
