Last year I launched my YouTube channel with a video on how to make a Smoky Mint Julep. Watching it a year later was humbling at best, and cringeworthy at worst. I nearly deleted it.
But then I remembered how proud I felt publishing that first video, even with the mistakes.
The intention was there, but the methodology wasn't. The soul of that drink deserved a better body. So I rebuilt it.
I present to you The Gilded Gallop.
Last week I had the pleasure of serving up two Elevated Non-Alcoholic Beverages I delevoped for a fundraiser here in Austin. I wanted to share one here with all y’all.
This one is smoked agave, caramelized fig, and a rustling of rosemary!
