I live in New Jersey. I know for a lot of you, that brings to mind grime, turnpikes and men walking around with gelled hair saying "yo".   And don't get me wrong, that definitely is the case in some parts.

Ever since reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil many, many years ago I have been mildly fascinated with Mint Juleps.
