"...It really struck me this morning while enjoying my 2nd bag of Partners Popeye (4th cup) of how appropriate Partners Popeye is with its spearmint overtones for a base mix for a Mint Julep. I sometimes confuse my mint varieties and know that peppermint is a cardinal sin for Mint Juleps but hope that spearmint botanicals are used!
Needless to say, I love Popeye and welcome using it as a base for dissolving some sugar later today and combining the tea/sugar syrup with some of Kentucky's finest Bourbon in a coin silver julep cup containing some finely crushed ice. I consider retrieving a sprig of spearmint from Debbie's garden to be too much work so your Partners Popeye will have to carry the day for me.
Love and affection from all of our family to yours!"
