Retronovated Recipes: The Frozen Mint Julep

I've concocted this recipe based on Jerry Thomas' "The Real Georgia Mint Julep Recipe." A winning combination of peach, mint and bourbon, the flavors blend together perfectly into a drink that's just the right amount of sweet. It is frosty, delicious, and boozey; which is really the only kind of drink I want this summer.

The Frozen Mint Julep
Inspired by The Read Georgia Mint Julep, by Jerry Thomas

1 pint Haagen-Daaz Peach Sorbet
1 handful fresh mint
6 oz Bourbon (or to taste)

Place all ingredients in a blender. Fill blender with ice. Blend until smooth. If the consistency is too think, add more ice. If it is not boozy enough, add more booze. Pour in glasses and enjoy.
