Recipe: The Mint Julep Margarita

Published May 4, 2012 | By Stuart

Cinco de Mayo is the little observed (in Mexico anyway) anniversary of an improbable victory by the Mexican army over that of the French which occurred on May 5th, 18-something.  This particular May 5th is also the annual running of the Kentucky Derby.  So the good folks over at the Cooking Channel shared with me a libation that will help you celebrate both at the same time.  Dig it!
