The six-flavors passage includes spicy heat and should not define our sensory taxonomy. Milk-punch ingredient volume and stated yield need recipe testing; its image really prints one-quarter cup vanilla extract. Raw-egg, caffeine, and alcohol claims are not independently validated guidance. Drink recipes do not establish neat-whiskey blending performance.
Beverages — Mint Julep through Rock Star
Joe Nickell’s julep advice emphasizes mint handling, crushed ice, a chilled cup, fine sugar, and access to mint aroma. A strawberry variation, eggnog, bourbon sour, Kentucky Colonel, milk punch, and Rock Star follow. The sour discussion treats sweet, sour, and bitter as common mixing dimensions; the eggnog text explicitly offers pasteurized egg.
