Then well garnish right up and wrap that around there. A beautiful bouquet of mint. I dont even do this, but this is good. The simple syrup helps cut the edge for you, sheinelle. Oh, that is good. For some of the other people who want to just maybe sip on bourbon, there is a way to enhance some of the flavors with foods. Right. Most people just enjoy a great drink of woodford reserve, but this is a wonderful experience okay. The flavorful experience to release the flavors of woodford reserve. A little nibble of chocolate. And sip . Sip the woodford. It releases the spiciness and the caramels and the vanillas. Just tremendous. Also with dried cranberries, hazelnuts and cheese. The dried fruit brings out the fruit notes. Im just eating everything right now. So good. This is fantastic. What else is in this thousand dollar mint julep .
