Gentleman:

I cannot recommend enough a set of Julep Cups from Wakefield Scearce Gallery.

These are the ones we utilize for Juleps at all Kentucky Colonel Functions like the Derby and Governor Patton's BBQ. Jab: I know you Bay Area guys don't like Dubya, so you may request some Jefferson Davis Clinton JDC engraved Julep Cups. My set are from when I first became a KC, so they are G.H.W.B.

Kim has a ton or Yerba Buena in our garden, as she makes sun tea with it so I have it fresh plucked for my Juleps. They frost up lovely, I say...Boy..where is my dang string tie and my Plantation Whites. Just a funny story as to my last trip to the Derby. Bill Samuels from Maker's Mark invited a group of us to sit in his box. He looked the part with his frock coat and white slacks. He rather "tongue and cheekingly" hired a diminutive man who strongly resembled the photographs we have of Jack Daniels. They dressed the man in period correct clothing (All Black) and the look-alike had Maker's Mark Cigars in a Maker's Mark Shoulder Bag and souvenir Red Wax covered shot glasses he passed out to all who came to visit the box. I have never laughed so hard at the pure genius of Bill Samuels Marketing gimmicks. Bill made ol' Jack his lawn Jockey on that day! jack..you been PUNKED!
