Who are the hosts and special guests on this episode?
Hi everyone, welcome to Truth in the Barrel Unfiltered. I'm Amy McGrath. Denver is out this week for this episode, but we have a special co-host guest, former Miss America, who also ran for the U.S. House of Representatives and the State House in Alabama. Und der Host eines anderen tollen Podcasts namens Pretty Furious, mein Freund Mallory Hagen, ist Co-Hostin. Danke, dass du heute mit uns bist, Mallory. Danke, dass du mich hast, Amy.
Ich bin wirklich gespannt, hier zu sein. Ich habe dieses Projekt von Anfang an genossen und freue mich darauf, meinen eigenen Twist zu öffnen. Ich bin kein Denverer, aber ich werde es versuchen.
Well, and listeners need to know that Mallory is a bit of a politico too. So she knows the ins and outs of politics. She's run for office herself. She keeps up to date with things that are going on. So I'm just super excited. And to have another woman be a co-host, it's going to be a fun show.
Yeah, let's bring a little different flavor to it. I heard that you're going to make something for everybody to see based on the Derby. What you got?
How do you make a classic Kentucky Derby Mint Julep?
I am. We are going to make a mint julep because the Kentucky Derby is coming up soon. Before we do that, I want to remind everybody to make sure that you're following us on all of the social media platforms, right? X, Blue Sky. Is it Blue Sky? I don't even know. Ich weiß nicht, was es ist. Und Blue Sky, Instagram. Danke. YouTube, du nennst es. Folgt uns. Schreibt uns eine wertvolle Note oder eine Review. All that stuff matters for Truth in the Barrow. So on to our Whiskey Minute. Heute habe ich eine wirklich coole Edition von dem Woodford Reserve. Das ist der offizielle Bourbon des 151. Kentucky Derby. Es wird in Woodford County, Kentucky, Versailles, Kentucky, Und mit diesem Bourbon werden wir den klassischen Kentucky Derby-Trink nennen, den Mint-Julep. Und ein lustiger Faktum über den Mint-Julep, es war ein Trink, der originalerweise in den 1700er-Jahren gemacht wurde. Es wurde der offizielle Trink des Kentucky Derby in den 1930er-Jahren. Und es war originalerweise ein Trink, das am Morgen konsumiert werden musste.
So, for all your morning bourbon needs, think of a mint julep. But basically, it's very easy to make. You take 10 to 12 mint leaves. You put about a quarter ounce of simple syrup in with... In a tall glass, right? With the mint leaves at the bottom, simple syrup. And then you fill it with ice. And from there, you press that together. It's crust ice, by the way. And then you take your two and a half ounces of bourbon, your Woodford Reserve or whatever bourbon of choice that you have. You pour that in there, like so. And you stir it up. And then you garnish it with some mint on the top. Okay. And you must, absolutely must, drink it, Mallory, with a straw.
You must.
You don't drink it with like a regular drink. Okay. That's very important. And if you, you know, if I know that the current administration hates the paper straws, frankly, it doesn't matter what straw you drink it in. It's really good. It's called a Mint Jule. Do you know why you have to drink it with a straw? It's just tradition, but it's also because a lot of the good stuff goes to the bottom. It's not shaken, right? Yeah, it's stirred. And I like my mint julep, I will admit. I like it minty and I like it sweet. Okay, now I love the bourbon, but if you're going to drink it in the morning, you're going to drink it in the daytime. I just prefer it that way. But there's your mint julep.
