![]() The first acknowledged master of mint juleps was Jasper Crouch from Richmond, who identified himself as a Free Person of Color. Īmericans enjoyed not only bourbon-based juleps during the nineteenth century, but also gin-based juleps made with genever, an aged gin.īy 1820, the julep was a legacy in Virginia and had been adopted as an item of local identity. Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky introduced the drink to Washington, D.C., at the Round Robin Bar in the famous Willard Hotel during his residence in the city. Pryor’s Haymarket Inn in Richmond began including ice-houses (possibly for the iced cocktails too) in their infrastructure in the 1780s, and the first mention of "Iced Julep" appears on May 4, 1807, in an advertisement for the Wig-Wam Gardens in Norfolk. An appearance of a mint julep in print came in a book by John Davis published in London in 1803, in which it was described as "a dram of spirituous liquor that has mint steeped in it, taken by Virginians of a morning." Davis' interviewee mentions his love for whiskey came from his daily preparation of the drink. Harry Toulmin described mint julep as “a tumbler of rum and water, well sweetened, with a slip of mint in it.”. I then prescribed her an emetic, some opening powders, and a mint julep." Further evidence of mint julep as a prescription drink can be found in 1784 Medical communications: "sickness at the stomach, with frequent retching, and, at times, difficulty of swallowing. Julip” appears) and "A Short Poem on Hunting" (which describes julep as a concoction "Which doctors storm at, and which some adore"), published in the Williamsburg Virginia Gazette. The earliest known mentions come from 1770 and include a satirical play by Robert Munford, The Candidate (where a drunkard character “Mr. The mint julep originated in the southern United States, probably during the eighteenth century. English juleps, as opposed to later American mint juleps, were primarily medicinal, lightly alcoholic, and often contained camphor. The word itself is derived from the Spanish "julepe", from Spanish Arabic, and this from the Persian word گلاب ( Golâb), meaning rosewater. The term "julep" is generally defined as a sweet drink, particularly one used as a vehicle for medicine. Today, mint juleps are most commonly served in a tall old-fashioned glass, Collins glass, or highball glass with a straw. Traditional hand placement may have arisen as a way to reduce the heat transferred from the hand to the silver or pewter cup. This allows frost to form on the outside of the cup. Traditionally, mint juleps were often served in silver or pewter cups, and held only by the bottom and top edges of the cup. ![]() The step further releases essential oils and juices into the mixture, intensifying the flavor from the added ingredient or ingredients. The mint julep may be considered a member of a loosely associated family of drinks called "smashes" (the brandy smash is another example, as well as the mojito), in which fresh mint and other ingredients are muddled or crushed in preparation for flavoring the finished drink. Proper preparation of the cocktail is commonly debated, as methods may vary considerably from one bartender to another. ![]() Traditionally, spearmint is the mint of choice used in Southern states, and in Kentucky in particular. As a bourbon-based cocktail, it is associated with the American South and the cuisine of the Southern United States in general, and the Kentucky Derby in particular.Ī mint julep is traditionally made with four ingredients: mint leaf, bourbon, simple syrup, and crushed ice. Mint julep is a mixed alcoholic drink, or cocktail, consisting primarily of bourbon, sugar, water, crushed or shaved ice, and fresh mint. † Mint julep recipe at International Bartenders Association Fill the glass with cracked ice, add Bourbon and stir well until the glass is well frosted. In a highball glass gently muddle the mint, sugar and water. A mint julep served in the traditional silver cup ![]() Bonus points for saying this to John Stewart.

The back of the case is a complete showstopper, thanks to a sapphire crystal display caseback that lets owners gaze upon the movement. Sitting proud of the case by a few millimetres is a flat sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating that provides superlative legibility and, as a result of being raised above the case, tangible vintage charm. Be in no doubt: if you’re in the market for an El Primero, this is the size to get. Secondly, because it’s quite thick, it actually wears a good 1-1.5mm larger than its dimensions would have you believe. These proportions are just about perfect in my opinion, and the reasons why are twofold.įirstly, because it’s 38mm, it’s going to offer excellent bandwidth for a great many different people. The dimensions have remained faithful to the 1969 original, which means 38mm across and just shy of 13mm thick. Both the unassuming piston-style chronograph pushers, as well as the knurled crown with Zenith star motif, also feature this mirror finish polishing. The matt brushwork found on the top of the angular lugs, combined with glistening polishing of the bezel, the edges of said lugs and the case’s flanks, blend together to present an aesthetic that is at once luxurious and high-finished, but not too high-polished for daily wear. Just like the dial, the attention to detail and finishing of this case cannot be discounted. The caseĪnother big positive of this Chronomaster El Primero is its stainless steel case, which is satisfyingly faithful to the original. Jests aside, the dial of this watch is so good that you could conceivably purchase it for no other reason it’s something that would never get boring - it would keep revealing more about itself over time, and that’s a defining characteristic of a truly great dial. But hey, it’s practical and if it wasn’t there, the dial would be too perfect, and I’d be forced to buy one of these watches immediately. I think this is the only mark against the dial of the El Primero – it irks me no end, and I’d rather Zenith just ditched the date complication entirely. The other feature is a small date aperture located between four and five o’clock. I adore this feature, and watching the bright red chrono seconds hand sweep with a velvety smoothness thanks to the movement (we’ll get to that later) is one of horology’s true joys. ![]() First is the archetypal bright red chronograph hand, complete with Zenith star at its base. The whole dial ensemble is tied off with two other features. At a hurried glimpse, they don’t seem particularly interesting look closer, though, and you suddenly realise that all three are finished with a beautifully surreptitious, concentric pattern that looks like something out of a Japanese Zen Garden.Īnd being an El Primero, there is, of course, a silvery tachymeter scale, located on the inner bezel ring with a contrasting black open minute track located inside that. Then there’s the three quintessential, recessed, multi-coloured sub-dials located at three, six and nine o’clock, which display a 30-minute totaliser, 12-hour totaliser and running seconds, respectively. Likewise, when the highly polished, multifaceted beveled hour indices and handset (which both feature Super-LumiNova) catch the light in just the right way, they positively beam, almost glowing with a white-hot aura. The radially brushed, sunburst silver base begins its dance, especially in direct sunlight. In the metal, though, it’s a different story. Which is surprising, because when you see stock photos of it on the website, it’s easy to think that it looks a tad busy. I’m not going to beat around the bush with this one – the dial of the Zenith Chronomaster El Primero 38mm is pure horological sex … it’s that good. But before it did, I was fortunate enough to temporarily purloin the stainless steel chrono, Ref.03.2150.400/69.C713 for a IN-DEPTH review, and these were my impressions. Sadly, a few short days later, it had to go back to Zenith. So, why am I telling you all this? And what’s it got to do with the Chronomaster El Primero 38mm? Well, in case you still haven’t seen the above video, Time+Tide’s fearless leader, Andrew McUtchen, was given this watch by Zenith to wear on the show. ![]() You’ll be counting on your stud RBs, WRs, and some above-average QBs, to smash your competition. So it makes more sense to load up on a top-tier RB and WR … then go after your starting QB. That’s important because it means the scoring difference among QBs gets marginal as the draft progresses. You can see a few spots where the scoring steeply dropped.īut you can also see by the flattening of the lines that the scoring differences shrink as you move through the position. But check out this chart of QB scoring … QB scoring flattens quicklyĪs it says, each line in that graph represents the top 24 QB scorers for a season from 2017 through 2022. You’ll still be able to get a top-18 QB in Round 3 or 4.Ī top-18 QB doesn’t sound exciting for a superflex, we know. And before that – open your draft with top-shelf picks at RB and/or WR. Wait until Round 3 or 4 to grab your first QB. You should take your first QB with one of your first four picks.īut here’s a superflex draft strategy that could really pay off for you: The early flow of QBs off the board will differ by superflex draft. Unless that ninth QB is your sleeper pick, you’re probably better off starting with a stud WR or RB. Let’s say your QB-hungry league has already drafted eight QBs by your turn in the first round. When mapping out your best superflex draft strategy, “early” doesn’t mean you NEED to grab a QB with your first pick.įeeling like you NEED to do any particular thing is a good way to let your emotions ruin your draft. ![]() Watch Video Don’t wait too long or you’ll pay for it all season Is Drafting QBs Early The Best Superflex Strategy? And Patrick Mahomes – whose running stats are underrated – will also be a first-round pick in superflex.īut when should you pick your first QB? Is it really as simple as picking the highest-ranked remaining QB in the first round when your time comes? So QBs such as Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts will go super early. QBs who can produce passing and rushing numbers are optimal for fantasy football. And since QBs can be used at the superflex spot, you already know that QBs will leave the board earlier in superflex drafts than in any other fantasy football drafts. QBs will far outpace other positions in scoring. Won’t just about every team grab a QB in the first round? Grab Your Starting QB Early … … But “early” doesn’t necessarily mean first round ![]() It seems counterintuitive, but let us make the case: 3 Steps to Winning Your Superflex Draft These battle-tested superflex draft strategy tips will give you the upper hand 1. Loading up QBs too early can actually hurt your chances of winning. Which, of course, is kinda the point.īut if you lean too much into that boost in value, you could make a very common mistake. Playing superflex fantasy football gives a big value boost to the quarterback (QB). By Jared Smola 10:03pm EDT 4/19/23 You’ll be way ahead if you don’t overrate the QB value boost ![]() 'And Just Like That' Stars Tease Kim Cattrall's Cameo as Samantha Jones: "I Just Hope People Aren't Disappointed" 'Glamorous' Cast Guide: Who's Who in the New Netflix Series Starring Miss Benny Will 'The Bear' Return For Season 3 on Hulu?
