Office of Public Information- News Photographs, 1957- scanned Color photograph of a framed "Recipe for a Kentucky Mint Julep" by "Irvin S. Cobb." The text of the recipe reads: "Take from the cold spring, some water, pure as the angels are; mix with sugar till it seems like oil, then take a glass and crush your mint in it with a spoon. Crush it around the border of the glass and leave no place untouched. Then throw the mint away--it is a sacrifice. Fill with cracked ice, the glass; pour in the quantity of Kentucky Bourbon which you want. Let trickle slowly through the ice. Let it have time to cool, then pour your sugared water over it. No spoon is needed, no stirring allowed. Just let it stand a moment. Then around the brim, place sprigs of mint so that the one who drinks may find taste and aroma at one draught. "And that, my friends, is one hell of a fine mint julep!" Below the framed photograph is a glass of mint julep with a large sprig of mint and a horseshoe with the "Kentucky" placard on top.
