This is by far the coolest hotel I've ever been in and stayed at. Super elegant, decadent and really the place to sip those classic Martinis or Mint Juleps. Impressive lobby and haven't changed since the 50ties - from the time where women were women and gentlemen wore dinner jackets!
Mint Julep:
3 ounces (89 ml; 3.1 imp fl oz) Bourbon whiskey
4 to 6 sprigs mint leaves
granulated sugar, to taste
Put mint, sugar, and a small amount of crushed or shaved ice into the bottom of a julep cup or tall glass. (Optional: Muddle the mint and sugar, then let stand for a bit to allow the broken leaves to release their flavor.) Add bourbon whiskey, top off with crushed or shaved ice, and stir well to mix and chill the mixture.
