Hope the Tiki Bar (and Isaac) both have a good Mint Julep recipe and ample supply of ingredients.
Have a great (May already!) weekend everyone.

It’s an ominous feeling when I don’t even understand the title, but I somehow managed to notice something that got me off the wrong google page and onto the right one. I’m on shore.
