Last weekend was certainly a busy one! Between Carolina Cup and Easter Sunday, two favorites were in ample supply: mint juleps and seersucker. I can’t be the only one who thinks {Seersucker Thursday} needs to be brought back, right? Doing my part with this post : )
I am planning on going to {Gold Cup in Virginia} in a month and now I am toying with the idea of visiting a friend for Foxfield at the end of April. To derby or not to derby? That is the question.
Either way, a mint julep is always in order!
Ingredients
6 sprigs fresh mint
1 tablespoon simple syrup
crushed ice
1 tablespoon bourbon
Directions
In a tall glass, combine the mint and simply syrup.
Using the handle of a spoon, crush the mint leaves.
Fill with ice and pour in bourbon.
Gently stir and chill.
Strain into a julep cup (if you have one handy).
Cheers!
You all know I love a good bargain but my favorite steal to this day is a pair of new with tags J.Crew seersucker pants for five dollars. Yup, I could not make this up if I wanted to! I was on cloud nine all day about it.
My favorite piece of seersucker in my wardrobe is my strapless Lilly sundress a.k.a. the reason I’m doing pilates again:
How do you style seersucker?
