These mint juleps were the best way to celebrate a big milestone a few days ago.<\/strong> Bowl of Delicious<\/a>, this 6.5 year old website and labor of love where I’ve poured my heart into each recipe – to share with millions of people per month – yes, MILLIONS – finally did it. It got over 1 million page views in a 30 day period for the first time ever!<\/p>\n

THANK YOU to every single one of you who have visited my blog, made a recipe, subscribed to my email list, shared with your friends, commented or rated a recipe, or shared one on social media. It means the world to me.<\/p>\n

And what better way to celebrate than with my favorite cocktail? Oh I know a better way. When someone else makes you that favorite cocktail!<\/p>\n

I may be sharing this recipe here, but my husband, Zach, is the cocktail maker in our house<\/strong> (he’s also a retro video game aficionado<\/a>)<\/em>. This is his recipe for mint juleps, adapted from our favorite cocktail book, Shake<\/a>. Or as we’re calling them, “Million View Mint Juleps.”<\/p>\n

So whether you’re watching the Kentucky Derby, need to celebrate a big milestone in your own life, or just want to enjoy a special evening with someone you love, give this easy mint julep recipe a try!<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
