I thought there wasn't anything wrong with the authentic one myself.  
What goes in an original mint julep?  But I don't like these calls, not 
because I don't enjoy making them, because I do, I love making them and make 
them often.  I always feel inclined to ask the guest if they've ever had a 
mint julep? So many people are unaware that some drinks are pretty much 
straight alcohol or are completely alcohol.  And they wonder why it taste like 
alcohol.  lovely.  The old fashioned is an easy fix, just a splash of water, 
some will argue the water is intended for mixing the syrup, I think it is the 
perfect flattening agent to top the drink with.  Mint julep is a bit different 
so I always try to give the option to shake, then strain. I tell them i'm 
making it colder. So what do you do when someone orders a mint julep?

what is a merlot martini, this is too much, I don't know what's more insulted, 
merlot or martini? Then she told me it got some juices and stuff. lovely.  
Sometimes, I just . . sometimes. granted, i'm not complaining, I get to make 
classic drinks for nearly every single guest. this is why i'm asking what do 
you put in your authentic mint julep? 

and please tell me a merlot martini is not a real drink.

How do I pour? What is 'cl', 'oz' and 'pt'? How should I handle glassware?.
