With the new apartment and all, I've been planning on throwing a housewarming party to break in the new digs. I was gonna theme it "Mint Julep Night," in honor of the party my friend and I put together on two hours' notice. My plan was to invite everyone over and pour mint juleps and mojitos using a recipe an old editor buddy and I figured out a couple summers ago.
However, when I went to check out the liquor store nearby, they didn't have the proper bourbon, Old Forrester, which is by far the first great tragedy of my New York experience.
What makes Forrester great is it's $15 a fifth but tastes as good as the higher-grade bourbons (pro tip: When you're at a bar, order bourbon rather than any whiskey - thanks to strict distillation requirements, even well bourbon is better than Jack), assuming you don't bother with Makers, which you shouldn't unless you have your name on a barrel anyway. And they don't have it within walking distance. Clearly this means I need to take my search to the metropolitan area. Mint Julep Night must go on.
