I yesterday focused on Dante's Inferno, where the Third Circle is for the gluttonous.  To avoid that area of Hell, I'm hereby making a case that my meals are gourmet and not gluttony.  I usually watch the Kentucky Derby, and prepare the traditional Mint Julep: Did you know that the state of  Kentucky produces 95% of all the bourbon in the world ?   The Mint Julep is simply  2 oz of bourbon 0.75 oz of syrup  crushed ice a few mint leaves, with a sprig to garnish Sold on Friday ( when the Longines Kentucky Oak s is run for fillies, which are female race horses ) and Saturday ( the Derby ) for $9, although one with a souvenir cup sells for $15. For charity, 11 gold-plated and 89 silver-plated mint juleps are made available by early reservation.  The gold goes for $2500, while the silver  costs only $1000.  This year, what was inside those cups was something called  Cherries and Cream Julep : 2 oz Woodward Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon, the official bourbon 0.5 oz cherry juice
