[sam9ball]

With the Kentucky Derby just 2 days away it's time to have one of the refreshing libations and watch some spectacular and best horses in the world go at it.

If the field is limited to 20 horses how can you have 22 entered? (Too many Mint Juleps)

• Fresh mint
• 2 tablespoons simple syrup* muddled with mint
• Splash of distilled water
• Powdered sugar
• Mint sprig for garnish
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup distilled water

20 max can run.

2 are also eligibles.

In case any of the 20 scratch before wagering opens Friday at 9 am, they move into the field.

That drink tastes like absolute shit. People lie to themselves when they sip on that shit with their pompous nose in full extension and pretend to enjoy it.

There's a reason they only drink that 1 day a year.

For you dense fukks, the reason is it tastes like shit.
