With the Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo happening the same weekend this year, there may be some important decisions to be made: Wide-brimmed portrait hat or sombrero? Whiskey or Tequila?
If you’re opting for whiskey, Ryan Asay, head mixologist at the Windsor Court in New Orleans, has come up with a refreshing mint julep.

1 oz Strawberry Mint Simple Syrup
.5 oz lemon juice
2 Cucumber slices
