No not unless you tell what it is.......it is not in Harry's ABC of cocktails book (mind you that is quite old these days - the copy I have is about 1930s)

Homer Simpson invented it.

Tequila,
Schnapps,
Crème de Menthe
Krusty Non-Narkotik Kough Syrup.
Mix and set alight.

Hey Steve you should try this sometime - nice use of bourbon. Use either Woodford Reserves new Three Grain bottling or Buffalo Trace.....

The cocktail has been dreamt up for the Kentucky Derby....

Kevin’s new cocktail aptly named the ‘English Cherry Julep’ has the following ingredients:
60ml Woodford Reserve
5-10ml Sugar Syrup
10-15ml Luxardo Maraschino
4 fresh tender mint sprigs
Three English Cherries

To make your own ….
At the base of the glass muddle the cherries then add all the ingredients including the mint sprigs, then add a little bit of crushed ice and mix until cold. Add more ice to top up drink and garnish with 1 mint sprig and one English cherry with a stem on. Finally powder the top of the drink with sugar

That sounds excellent. I may have to give it a try this weekend during the Final Four.

Back in my bartending days I had a customer who always drank "Muddled Old Fashions". Was a PITA to make to his satisfaction but you take the fruit, mix with bitters in the glass then kinda smash it up with a little wooden club thingie.

I dunno man...I used to be able to slam down 10-12 dry manhattans over the course of the night. Not anymore.

Mmm... the English cherry julep is pretty tasty. I've had a few during the first NCAA semifinal. My bracket is screwed, so I might as well get drunk.
