Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

If you can't make it to the Kentucky Derby this year, don't sweat it. As long as you've got a mint julep in your hand you're as good as there! Mint, sugar and bourbon come together to make this southern standard.

1/2 cup crushed ice
1 1/2 teaspoon extra fine granulated sugar
3 mint leaves
2 1/2 ounces bourbon
Add ice to glass. Tear up mint leaves with your fingers. Tearing instead of cutting gives more surface area to the torn leaves, releasing more of the oils.
Put them in the glass with the ice and sugar and crush the leaves into the ice with the back of a spoon or handle of a wooden spoon or citrus reamer.
Add bourbon. Rub the rim of an old fashioned glass with a torn mint leaf. Garnish with mint. Cheers!

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
