Django Unchained - Christmas 2012 - Beyond Tiki

Mint Juleps were one of the original Famous Popular Drinks (like "Pinked Gin") that took the U.S by storm, really similar in every way to the tropical-themed drinks that came much later. A well made Mint Julep is still a hell of a great drink. (Has anybody considered making some great ones for next year's Hillbilly-themed Tiki Oasis?!?!?!)
